11:18 am: Iespaidīgākais koncerts, ko jebkad esmu redzējis video/DVD, droši vien B.B.Kinga uzstāšanās Singsinga cietumā 1972.gadā. Šorīt kārtējo reizi uzliku un atkal sapratu, ka salīdzinājumā ar to, pat Džonija Keša cietuma koncerti ir kokaina pasēdēšana. Slepkavas un izvarotāji meklē mutautus, slauka acis, skatās tālumā un aizžņaugtā balsī kliedz līdzi, bet Džoana Baeza (kura uzstājās pirms viņa) ir pilnīgā šokā.

06:09 pm: Bild žurnālistes Judītes Boneški analīze par Obamas Vācijas vizīti un abu tikšanos viesnīcas trenažieru zālē:

"Obama (with toned arms and a strong back) puts on his headphones for his iPod to listen to pop music. He hums quietly. Then he jumps on a fitness bike. He pushes three times on the pedals -- but then can't be bothered with it.

He picks up a pair of 16 kilo weights and starts curling them with his left and right arms, 30 repetitions on each side. Then, amazingly, he picks up the 32 kilo weights! Very slowly he lifts them, first 10 curls with his right, then 10 with his left.

Quickly I ask: "Mr. Obama, could I take a photo?". "Of course!" he answers, before asking my name and coming over to stand next to me. "My name's Judith" I reply. "I'm Barack Obama, nice to meet you!" he says, and puts his arm across my shoulder. I put my arm around his hip -- wow, he didn't even sweat! WHAT A MAN!"
