The Obamas announced today that they will be hosting another Performance at the White House event on May 28 to honor American singer and songwriter Carole King:
As part of their In Performance at the White House series, the President and First Lady will host a concert in the East Room honoring singer-songwriter Carole King, who will be awarded the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. President Obama will present the award as he did when the Library of Congress honored Stevie Wonder (2009), Sir Paul McCartney (2010), and the songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David (2012). The program will include performances by King, as well as Gloria Estefan, Billy Joel, Jesse McCartney, Emeli Sandé, James Taylor and Trisha Yearwood.

The Monkees were manufactured but somehow those who wrote songs for them in the Brill Building music factory weren’t making “product” for “pop stars”. Music bigotry sucks.
Those who have to be constantly entertained, have few thoughts of their own. To be left in silence or to create and develop their own set of interests or skills, is very foreign to people who must be constantly entertained.

WHO is obama going to invite to this party?
I can’t see a the members of the CBC sitting around listening to Carole King albums.
I didn’t know Carole King was still alive.
Funny this came up today. The other night I was dreaming that I was singing “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” a la Shirelles. When I woke up I asked myself who wrote that great song? And then I remembered it was Carole King, and her singing the song herself. What a talent! But from where she’s coming from, it would be hard to be associated with anything but liberal.
