As the festivities ramp up in DC (the inauguration is set to begin as I write this), I thought I'd share some highlights from President Clinton's 1993 inauguration (well, MTV's 1993 Inaugural Bash, but whatever):
First, Michael Stipe and Mike Mills team up with Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen to form the short-lived supergroup Automatic, Baby:
Great version of that song, though Mills' harmonies are a bit off at the end.
Then Stipe jumped up on stage with 10,000 Maniacs to do "Candy Everybody Wants:"
And to think, the man being sworn in today is younger than Michael Stipe, and only two years older than Natalie Merchant.

Natalie Merchant dancing around in that dress is about as 90s as you can get.
-the ghost of Paul Tsongas
Not to mention one of the last public gasps of the Southern-dandy Michael Stipe (shabby suit and hat) and nerdy Mike Mills (by the '93 Video Music Awards that fall, he was already growing his hair out and wearing the crazy Nudie suits).
