One more for the Inaugural Event: Sam from Sam and Dave: Why Don't they Have Ordinary Americans do the Event

Well I guess that is something.

Sam Moore of soul/R&B duo Sam & Dave has announced that he will perform at the “Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration” on January 19 in Washington, D.C. “I was a participant in the civil rights movement and have seen many positive changes and advancement in my 81 years of living in this wonderful country, but I know we must all join hands and work together with our new President,” the “Soul Man” singer said in a press release. “I honestly believe that if we can accomplish this, the best is yet to come. We all as Americans need to unite behind our new President and give him a chance. He needs everyone’s support to make America greater, stronger and an even better country.”

Why don't they have a bunch of non-famous Americans play at the gala? They could make it like a pseudo American Idol but audition them first. Then they can play a handful of songs at the actual event. It is probably too late to bring something like that together but it would be interesting. It would show the grass-roots nature of the Trump win.
