I am currently looking at the Opening Ceremony from both sides now. NBC has done a fantastic job so far this evening, limiting commercials during a life airing of the Opening Ceremony.
A beautiful Joni Mitchell rendition of her masterpiece "Both Sides Now."
The cultural portion of the evening is running a little long, looking forward to the lighting of the cauldron and the Canadian Olympic greats to be part of it. I hope they include my personal favorite, Gaetan Boucher (1000 & 1500 meter speed skating gold in Sarajevo).
The parade of nations was fun, with a couple of retired NHL Superstars leading their nations, Jaromir Jagr & Peter Forsberg.
Donald Sutherland is doing a great job with the voiceover and I smiled when they quoted the great Chief Dan George (rent "Little Big Man" from Netflix).
The poor Uzbeks, getting sandwiched between the USA and Canada in the parade of nations.
Back to the TV.
