Condensed Reagan Funeral

Condensed Reagan Funeral

Cars, umbrellas, big church, greeter.
Music by Emerson, Lake & Palmer sung by kids and folks in robes.
Talking in microphones. Marge, Mulrooney, George Herbert, Dub, Danforth. Trumpets. World leaders in audience. Lots of canned footage. God-talk. Trumpets. Various other forms of garrish overstatement.

Seriously, the last part, where they marched to coffin out, was among the most beautiful things I have seen and heard. And the speeches were all quite fine.
