Why Jon Bon Jovi?

If you saw Narrows' fave Bettye LaVette at the Inaugural event at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, you might have wondered why she had to share the stage with Jon Bon Jovi.

They sang "A Change is Gonna Come," and Mr. Bon Jovi looked like he was put on the bill because he's famous, not because he was a good match for the song.

As we know, Bettye could have killed with that tune, if she didn't have to step aside for Mr. "I'm A Cowboy on a Steel Horse I Ride."

And speaking of cowboys, who dug up the "Anti-Hank" Garth Brooks? (Kinky Friedman has dubbed Garth as the "Anti-Hank" btw.) And why did Herbie Hancock apparently play in the wrong key? And did you see Narrows' alum Tao Rodriguez-Seeger up there with his grandad?

If you get HBO, you can see the show on demand and maybe come up with some answers.
