HBO Inauguration Concert

A-List Celebs Lined up for HBO Inauguration Concert

The Opening Celebration of common purpose and new beginnings will be a declaration. The Sunday afternoon performance will be grounded in history and brought to life with entertainment that relates to the themes that shaped Barack Obama and which will be the hallmarks of his administration. 

HBO will televise the event on an open signal, working with all of its distributors to allow Americans across the country with access to cable, telcos or satellite television to join in the Opening Celebration for free. The 56th Inauguration promises to be the most inclusive in history, and the Opening Celebration is one of a series of inaugural events that reflect that commitment. On Saturday, the President-elect, Vice President-elect and their families will journey to the nation’s capital via train, holding events that are free and open to the public along the way. They will be joined by a group of everyday Americans they met along their road to the White House. On January 19th, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President-elect Obama will call on all Americans to make an ongoing commitment to serve their communities and their country. A new website, USAservice.org, makes it easy for Americans to organize service events or find existing events to participate in. To date, nearly 5,000 events have been organized across the country. That evening, Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden, and their families will host a free "Kid's Inaugural" concert to honor military families, broadcast live on the Disney Channel and Radio Disney.

Mary J’s blowing and Denzel’s reading should be enough to get them eyes watery. Like we have said before, and we will say again, this is the most historic moment of our time, and maybe our parents’.
