john, of course, was a republican and was no fan of clinton. but i think he enjoyed it in the end. ( still had his ring from chris on...prob about a year before it disappeared. ) but mick and chris said they would have voted for clinton, and Lindsey said he had. i think stevie did as well..?

I recall Ken Caillat saying that he thought they sounded terrible at the inauguration. but it was still a thrill for us fans. i recorded it too, and watched the sh*t out of that tape for like a week afterward lol.

Other people on this board have said Christine didn’t vote for Clinton, based on comments she had made at the time.

I also remember an interview where the band said they practiced for several days leading up to the inauguration, which I always thought was insane, all that rehearsal for just one song! But I’m sure they were nervous because of the scope of the performance and because they hadn’t performed live since what, 1982? Well, they did in 1990, I guess.
