Was anybody else as surprised as I was to see the Our Father and the Ave Maria sung one after the other at the National Memorial Day Concert on the Mall on Sunday night? I have been to the concert half a dozen times, and watched nearly all the other 8 (it's 14 years old) and cannot recall such a religious display, even last year, 8 months after 9/11. It's especially remarkable considering that the show is produced by PBS, and they retain substantial control over its content.

About Me
- Name: Brian
- Location: Boston, MA, United States
The 5 point Scale: 1: I drank it, and wanted to warn you against doing the same. (I won't post a lot of these.) 2: If it's the only wine available, sure, whatev. 3: "Tuesday night wine." Okay, it's not fabulous, but if you open it on a work night and don't finish it and it goes bad before the end of the bottle, well--Tuesday was enjoyable and you won't feel guilty about the unconsumed bits, at least for the money you spent. 4: Terrific, as far as plonk goes. 5: Priced like plonk, but drinks like something much pricier. Within the boundaries of this blog, exceptional wine.
