Nary a word was heard about that was there? Sounds to me like the issue is more about a moment of political opportunity to demonize than a laps of judgment in bestowing an honor!

I had read that Mr. Clemons had passed away. Only after it was said he was with that band did I realize who he was. Didn't see any stories about flags lowered for him. The Governor of NJ wants to lower flags for entertainers, have at it. He and I have different views of who should receive such an honor. He opened the door with Mr. Clemons. Kind of hard to close it for Ms. Houston.
