I thought George Clinton was a better pull than Maroon 5. Kinda hope they stay in that vein.

Elvis Himselvis (why not, inauguration is the day after what would have been his 88th birthday).

If we don’t get to boogie down to the Boat Drink Caucus, it’ll be a disappointment. Even if they’re the opening band, going on at 3pm.

Too bad The Presidents of the United States of America broke up. It would be fitting.

Well we know if you pay Dan Proft enough he’d take the gig.
