Jan 28, 2021A solid start to the Biden presidency and a masterclass in optics having Tom Hanks lead the night with his soothing voice and speeches about uniting the country.

Jan 28, 2021The musicians are talented and who doesn't like Tom Hanks? But this is just Panderfest 2021. Trump is gone. Let's stop slapping each other on the back for being so brave as to get rid of him, and get on with fixing the country. No concert is going to do that.

Doing that Tom Hanks signature soft shoe down the line between gravitas and everyman accessibility, he set the tone for the night—one of extreme, inescapable, long-overdue earnestness. ... All in all, Celebrating America was a pretty standard version of what these things are. And after all of the everything of these last years, that alone was kind of nice. ... You grade specials like these on a curve. In this specific case, that curve is: “I do not even remember the last moment I felt joy so let me just appreciate this one thing.”

Sober, beautifully staged, and symbolically welcoming. The tone was earnest and, with some straining, consistently hopeful, which is why Tom Hanks, one of our American totems of sanity and unity, was in charge.

It was a safe, soothing and unadventurous affair, but necessarily so, and what fresh material did emerge was solidly on-message.
