    I could see one of the songs from tonight being a part of the next fan club single.

    I feel like usually during these things artists get like one televised song, especially if he's performing with a children's choir...

    if he's playing with a choir, I think the obvious choice is Betterman.

    Betterman could be cool... but he played that for Letterman...

    He should do Hero from the Spider-Man soundtrack. Matt can play drums...

    So I have some questions:

    1) When does he play? Is it before or after the speech?
    2) Is it going to be on the major TV Networks in addition to the WH.gov site?
    3) Are there other musical guests playing?

    It's not going to happen, but I think the chorus of Smile would be as appropriate as it could get.

    maybe he'll sing "send in the clowns", or a new track he just wrote "orange is the new black".

    Seeing my ticket has the number 13,xxx on it, I'm sure you'll be closer to the action from the comfort of a computer/TV.

    Your ticket may not get you in. They are closing the doors if capacity appears too much, even if ticket holders are still outside.

    Got here 3 hours before doors open. Line is packed inside, so I should be good in the front 1/4 of it.

    Waiting outside the White House at 430 with a tambourine

    The fine line between dedicated and obsessed.....

    How long have you been on this message board?
    Been a 10C member for about 5 years. This is my 115 post.

    Your point?
    It was a poorly-worded playful joke about how the people on this message board are slightly obsessed with this band.

    Nobody knows yet. I would think that a thing like this would not necessarily release a schedule of performances. Fire up the vcr.

    I hope someone out there will be able to capture the event in 1080i, or 8K. :p

    My guide says all of the major channels are having a half-hour special at 9 eastern. Not too sure if it will be cut right off at 9:30 or continue until its done.
