Music at the Acceptance and Concession Speeches
The music at McCain’s concession speech and Obama’s acceptance speech seemed well-chosen.
McCain’s concession speech concluded with a theme from Crimson Tide, which was about a Navy man who was labeled as a Maverick — who was “stripped of his authority and ultimately beaten by a young black guy, somewhat new to the scene”. How incredibly fitting.
Obama’s acceptance speech was followed by clips from Remember the Titans — a movie about bringing together blacks and whites to work toward a common goal.
I don’t know who chose those themes, but someone obviously gave a lot of thought to the choice of music behind these speeches. Well done.
