Trump finally lands big name inaugural act: "Americas number one Bruce Springsteen cover band"
Trump finally lands big name inaugural act: ‘America’s number one Bruce Springsteen cover band’
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/trump-finally-lands-big-name-inaugural-act-americas-number-one-bruce-springsteen-cover-band/
According to Consequence of Sound, while performers from Elton John to Kanye West have declined to participate in the upcoming inauguration, the president-elect did manage to find one group willing to serenade crowds him on Jan. 20: The B Street Band, “America’s number one Bruce Springsteen cover band.”
Springsteen in the flesh appeared at President Barack Obama’s star-studded 2009 inauguration, but considering “The Boss” once called Trump a “flagrant, toxic narcissist,” it’s safe to say he won’t be rocking out onstage for the president-elect (despite Trump naming Springsteen superfan Chris Christie as honorary chair of the ball).
Tom Barrack, Trump’s inaugural committee chief, tempered expectations Tuesday, insisting Trump doesn’t care that a-list celebrities aren’t interested in palling around with him on inauguration day.
“We’re fortunate in that we have the greatest celebrity in the world, which is the president-elect,” Barrack said. “So what we’ve done instead of trying to surround him with what people consider A-listers is we are going to surround him with the soft sensuality of the place. It’s a much more poetic cadence than having a circus-like celebration that’s a coronation.”
