Just as Bill Clinton tried to conjure some good luck for his administration by having Fleetwood Mac—a group of drama-queen adulterers—play at his inauguration party, so Barack Obama’s inauguration will serve as the occasion for a concert by, apparently, every single musician your parents can recognize, from James Taylor to Bruce Springsteen to, God help us, will.i.am (who’s calling in his favor for that YouTube video). The concert will try to please everyone while lacking any sort of cohesion and ultimately leave everyone feeling dissatisfied, but nothing controversial will happen and everyone will forget about it in a few weeks.
