The Democratic National Convention went all out in putting together an all-star lineup of actors, singers and athletes. Hollywood has been so pervasive at the convention that Bill Clinton’s speech Tuesday night turned out not to be the headliner, but the lead-in for Meryl Streep and Alicia Keys.
Remember when the Republican National Convention was supposed to be the big spectacle? Donald Trump promised a bigger, more bombastic convention than ever before. That didn’t turn out to be the case, at least in terms of celebrity appeal. Instead of glitz, he just made a bunch of musicians mad at him by playing their music without permission.
