OK, so where was Gene?


I tuned in, and it was an enjoyable concert, and it felt like a new tone was set. But I was particularly interested in seeing Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson's invocation, which is of particular historical significance for being the first openly gay bishop to speak at a US inaugural event. So if I'm judging the TV program, I can't rate it very highly because it's missing a key piece of the event. I see he's listed in the credits on IMDb, but he was not listed in the version I saw, and he was nowhere to be seen. I watched the live broadcast on HBO Canada.

His prayer was part of the pre-show, so it wasn't included in the live broadcast. However, HBO is going to add it to subsequent re-airings of the concert.
