That's a good point that Erin and Desha made that I neglected to mention in the post--there was nothing secretive about the fact that they were (or might be) going to use a recording. The press already knew. Sad.... And Desha makes another good point, that another reasonable solution (which I didn't consider) would have been to have them playing live somewhere and broadcast the performance onto the Jumbotrons outside. But I guess that wouldn't have been dramatic enough.<br/><br/>Thanks again for your comments--keep 'em coming!<br/><br/>AJ Harbison Hi everyone,
Thanks for the comments! That’s a good point that Erin and Desha made that I neglected to mention in the post–there was nothing secretive about the fact that they were (or might be) going to use a recording. The press already knew. Sad…. And Desha makes another good point, that another reasonable solution (which I didn’t consider) would have been to have them playing live somewhere and broadcast the performance onto the Jumbotrons outside. But I guess that wouldn’t have been dramatic enough.

Thanks again for your comments–keep ‘em coming!

Unbelievable. Or, sadly, totally believable.<br/><br/>Two thoughts come to mind: 1.) With everything going in life they choose to spend their time on this? and, after reading some of those comments, 2.) Amazing how many people will find politics under every rock, if you know what I mean.<br/><br/>One word sums it up: Puh-LEEEZ.<br/><br/>AJ - that was the first thing that came to my mind, too! I was thinking, holy cow, they can't possibly be playing that well in freezing cold, but I guess that's why they get the big bucks. Heh! I was totally not surprised to find out it was pre-recorded - makes total sense.<br/><br/>The only other reasonable decision would have been to have them inside somewhere and project their live performance out onto jumbo-trons or something, I suppose. wow- the press was advised as to what might happen and why, and they still made a deal about it?

AJ – that was the first thing that came to my mind, too! I was thinking, holy cow, they can’t possibly be playing that well in freezing cold, but I guess that’s why they get the big bucks. Heh! I was totally not surprised to find out it was pre-recorded – makes total sense.

The only other reasonable decision would have been to have them inside somewhere and project their live performance out onto jumbo-trons or something, I suppose.

The news outlets were told in advance that they might be using a recording because of the weather. There was no deceit. I wish people would just calm down...
