With a lineup of A-list recording artists, the concert marking the inauguration of America's 46th presidency felt a long way from four years ago when organisers struggled to find performers willing to endorse Donald Trump's ascension to political office with a performance.
And Seattle, Washington-based teacher Mackenzie Adams, whose enthusiasm for teaching online sent video clips of her classes viral last year, introduced a performance by The Foo Fighters. The introduction had particular poignancy for lead singer Dave Grohl, who talked of the importance in his own life of his mother Virginia, who was a schoolteacher for 35 years.
Vice-President Kamala Harris, with the stunning Washington Monument behind her - a 169m tall marble obelisk built to honour the first US president George Washington - indirectly referenced her own journey, as America's first female Vice-President, to illustrate the power of American aspiration. A story largely forgotten in modern America, and not explained in the telecast, the Piccirilli brothers are a great American immigrant story.
