Memphis Soul Comes To The White House . . .

Via The Weekly Standard:
Next week Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Queen Latifah, and many others will perform at the White House in a "Memphis Soul" concert, the White House announced today.

"As part of their 'In Performance at the White House' series, the President and First Lady will invite music legends and contemporary major artists to the White House for a celebration of Memphis Soul music. The program will include performances by Alabama Shakes, William Bell, Steve Cropper, Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Sam Moore, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples and Justin Timberlake, with Booker T. Jones as music director and band leader. The President’s remarks will be pooled press and the entire event will be streamed live.
It is likely that this 'cultural event' is costing *someone* some serious money!

. . . Meanwhile school children from Memphis (or any other American city) aren't allowed to tour the White House because with Sequester cuts there just isn't any money.

Curious!
