Well, they were both intense periods&#0160;on an axis of history, a great shift in hope. In one we left (or thought we were leaving) the era of David Geffen and Gregg Allman. In another we left the era of George Bush. In one Sonny &amp; Cher announced they were reuniting (for television) and in our blind desire for a personal reconciliation, there was a media frenzy&#8230;and in the other we have a similar (some say blind) desire for a national reconciliation resulting in an Obama media frenzy. <\/p>\n<p>So okay, the Obama thing is bigger. I get that. I was VERY excited when Obama was inaugurated a week ago.&#0160;I took the day off to experience this important American moment in history and I was none too proud. I gleefully gave Bush my own private <em>heave-ho<\/em> and I enjoyed seeing all the first-day protocol of the new President. Can\u2019t say how heartening the day was, including the balls.<\/p>\n<p>Was Cher there? With all the people crowded on the National Mall, I didn\u2019t happen to see her. But the press reports she was indeed at one of the evening&#39;s celebratory&#0160;balls, not one of the ones Barack and Michele attended, but the Feeding America party. <\/p>\n<p>(By the way, I say this to anyone who will listen on a daily basis: I LOOVE Michele Obama. Sort of like I imagine my mother loved Eleanor Roosevelt. With absolute adoration.) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef010537021200970c-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"FLOAT: left\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef010537021757970c-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"FLOAT: right\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Article-1126608-032209F7000005DC-894_468x695\" class=\"at-xid-6a00d8341d6c7753ef010537021757970c \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef010537021757970c-200wi.jpg?w=676&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px; WIDTH: 200px\" \/><\/a> This is Cher at the Ball<\/p>\n<p>News stories:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cherworld.com\/news\/?p=678\">http:\/\/www.cherworld.com\/news\/?p=678<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/perezhilton.com\/2009-01-21-a-very-un-cher-cher-hits-an-inaugural-ball\">http:\/\/perezhilton.com\/2009-01-21-a-very-un-cher-cher-hits-an-inaugural-ball<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef010537021359970c-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"FLOAT: right\"><\/a>At the ball Cher expressed admiration for Obama to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.okmagazine.com\/news\/view\/11407\"><em>OK Magazine<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\" style=\"MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px\">\n<p><em>&quot;I just want to see him be as smart as he is and I believe his intelligence is so great and he will do as much if not more [than people expect of him]&quot;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&quot;He is totally the right person for this position.

Do you think she\u2019s attempting to detract from those pesky little issues with that smartly tied neck scarf?<\/p>\n<p>When I moved to LA I was intrigued to find out this conference took place at The Beverly Hilton (at the&#0160;corner &quot;V&quot;&#0160;of Santa Monica and Wilshire Blvds), the same hotel owned by Merv Griffin and the site of Cher\u2019s famous auction a few years back <em>and<\/em> the historic location for <em>The Golden Globe Awards and<\/em>the building that housed the fabu tiki lounge Trader Vics. I had seen the still photos (S&amp;C both in white outfits behind a podium) but never thought I\u2019d see the live action footage. What a thrill for this S&amp;C nerd.<\/p>\n<p>But I can\u2019t tell you (although the media mayhem in the video clip probably can) how happy Americans were that Sonny and Cher were reuniting. Not only did we have fantasies of a much larger reconciliation (after all they\u2019ll be spending long hours together again) but the chaos of the Geffen\/Allman\/Sonny\u2019s-solo-show all seemed behind us finally.&#0160; Cher just didn\u2019t seem as happy on her solo show despite all the \u201chang back and stay loose\u201d declarations she made from that long tongue of a stage (Sonny\u2019s description of it). <\/p>\n<p>Heaven knows, we sure weren\u2019t happy. <\/p>\n<p>So what that we were all wrong and that Cher still had another year with Gregg Allman (inlcuding another <em>People Magazine<\/em> cover) and then would spin off to Gene Simmons and a long line of fuzzy-faced gentlemen. I think it\u2019s telling that the first question asked by a reporter was personal: are you getting back together romantically? <\/p>\n<p>Oooh we wanted it. We were all the heartbroken kids of this broken marriage. <\/p>\n<p>The press frenzy is important to note:&#0160;look at them scrambling around in their tweed jackets, long scraggly 70s hairdos, side-burns, and outrageously clunky cameras. All this hubbub ensured that the premiere of the new <em>Sonny and Cher Show<\/em> on CBS would be one of most watched TV premiers in television history, an accolade the show held for quite some time (up there with the answer to the <em>Dallas<\/em> cliffhanger Who Shot JR?). <\/p>\n<p>You can hear S&amp;C banter before the conference starts, giving a glimpse into their relationship, making cracks with each other as the press squawks at them. The footage has strange cuts in it and is mostly of the media scrambling but you get a good sense of the crazy mood of the event. <\/p>\n<p>My favorite part is Cher\u2019s last prophetic words as they walk out of the room:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\" style=\"MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px\">\n<p>&#0160;<em>\u201cWe won\u2019t be going back to Vegas!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#0160;&#0160; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I even compare these two events, you ask?
