Obama Adds Kids Concert to Inaugural Lineup

Posted by JeanneSager

They've been telling us not to bring the kids along to the inauguration, but since Americans are known for being such great listeners . . . they've added a kids show to the lineup.

Considering Sasha and Malia Obama's iPod playlists are probably a little (OK, a lot) different from Barack and Michelle's, is anyone really surprised by this one?

As of yet, there are no acts announced for what the president-elect dubbed a free "concert for America's children" to be held the night before his big show, on Jan. 19 at the Verizon Center. But Presidential Inaugural Committee spokesman Josh Earnest told the Washington Post it would include "whatever the kids are listening to today."

The event will require tickets - free of course - like most of the events of the day. So is this Washington's nod to the fact that parents want to show up for the event? Or is this just happening because we have a president with young children?
