The bear makes me think of The Wicker Man.

Is it just me or is that the Coca Cola bear?

The bear reminded me of the inflatable lawn ornaments that people put in their front yards at Christmas time.

In honor of the opening ceremony I practiced curling and swept the floor. Now I am contemplating eating the last of my Swedish chocolate. If there actually is any left. Which I am not sure and a little afraid to look. I hate disappointment.

Okay, what in gay hell is this? It's like the queer version of The Devil Went Down To Georgia.

I thought the only thing missing was a Charlie Daniels appearance.

The only good thing going for this is the Donald Sutherland narration. It is the only time when Costas and Lauer shut up it seems.

I just know P!nk is going to come spinning down from the ceiling any second.

Honestly, the imagery of this is amazing.

Okay maybe not. A boy can dream.

The projections and lighting are exceptional. Top of their fields.

This can't be Patti. It is way too breathy for it to be LuPone.

EDIT: Sabre got it right. It's Jonni Mitchell. Updated On: 2/12/10 at 11:01 PM

Visually this is absolutely spectacular. I love those projections.

Gorgeous voice.

Damn, she can SING.

Damn, that was a beautiful rendition and damn NBC for being more into close-up shots of athletes watching than a close-up of kd lang.

I love how Lauer mentioned how much of an honor it is to carry out your country's flag. Ya think?
