Ted Kennedy rouses DNC crowd

His voice wavered a few times, but I think it was more from emotion that from the rigors of cancer treatments.

Ted Kennedy was introduced by Caroline Kennedy, followed by a film of the Senator sailing with his kids and grandkids.

Wish they hadn't closed out the speech with that old Top 40 nugget, "Still the One," which was bad when it first appeared, and hasn't improved with age.

Michelle Obama coming up after we boogie to "Celebrate," by Kool and the Gang, sung by the in-house band.

Chris Walla and one of his bandmates are performing tomorrow at a free concert. Not sure if I can get there.
