Trumps inaugural concert: The weird, the patriotic and the weirdly patriotic

Did you miss Trump’s inaugural concert? Titled “Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration” at the Lincoln Memorial, it was a combination of weird, patriotic and weirdly patriotic. Here’s everything you need to know:
Jon Voight’s speech.

Although Trump’s inaugural speech Friday will supposedly be all about unity, that was not exactly the theme of Jon Voight’s remarks.

“We have all been witness to a very grueling year and a half for the president-elect. We have been witness to a barrage of propaganda that left us all breathless with anticipation, not knowing if God could reverse all the negative lies against Mr. Trump whose only desire was to make America great again,” Voight said. “He certainly didn’t need this job. And, yes, yes, God answered all our prayers. Because here it is, we will be part of history, all of us.”

Ravidrums got the concert off to a pretty strange start, as it’s unclear whether anyone was expecting a frenetic drum performance. The weirdness was rivaled only by the dancers in glowing costumes.

Jon Voight's big break was playing a male prostitute.

And here he is, 48 years later, reprising the role.
