What Band Would You Reunite To Play Your Inauguration?
There s been a lot of talk about the inauguration of Joe Biden as President of the United States, which is taking place tomorrow - Wednesday, January 20th, 2021. As is often the case with these kinds of things, a lot of big musical artists are going to be performing throughout the day - Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, Jon Bon Jovi, Demi Lovatio, Bruce Springsteen. the list goes on. But one thing that caught my attention - and one it took me a second to really believe was happening - was this: New Radicals are reuniting to perform at the inauguration.

A lot of Democrats would probably like to go back to the late 1990s to change a few things (namely spending just a liiiiittle more time in Florida making sure people know how to fully punch through their 2000 presidential election ballot). But there seems to be another reason Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, wants to party like it’s 1998: the New Radicals. Our nation’s soon-to-be first First Gentleman handpicked New Radical’s “You Get What You Give” as his walk-on song during rallies ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Now the band is reuniting for the first time in over 20 years to close out the Biden-Harris administration’s virtual “Parade Across America” event on Wednesday,
