1. Ahh, Ms. Dolly Parton is a "good ole girl," isn't she?

Kudos, Ms. Parton....;)

11. I've always so admired Dolly for doing what SHE wanted and still remaining such a sweet soul.

Great article. I read it and got all choked up. I think my Obama-induced mushiness is spreading. I'm going to be a MESS tomorrow.

3. This is driving me crazy

I've watched the HBO taping three times now and I never see this eagle. I even went back to the original thread and it is mentioned right after Bono but on HBO it goes straight to Barack. I'm just perplexed.....wasn't it taped live?

4. I saw the eagles on HBO.

But when did John Legend perform? I saw a glimpse of him at the end when all were onstage, but can't find his performance!

5. He was on with James Taylor. Did they cut James taylor from the rebroadcast too???

:(

7. No they didn't

He is one of the first performers. I saw him and John Legend was with him.

10. Aha!

James Taylor bores me to tears, so I fast-forwarded through him. I guess I'll have to watch him if I want John Legend! Thanks :)

6. Yes, they did some severe editing it appears

and I thought it was poorly done because the part with Challenger was really thematically important. The showing and exhibiting of the Eagle and it's opening of it's wings was almost a highlight I thought. I am sad that they cut it and James Taylor also.

8. James Taylor was on my TV

I don't know what you are talking about.

9. Thanks for the info, and thanks to Dolly for the good work that she's done

for these birds. I get to see eagles pretty regularly, living near the Missouri river, and it's always a thrill.
