WE ARE ONE : THE OBAMA PRE-INAUGURAL CELEBRATION
Live from Washington, D.C. outside Lincoln Memorial on Sunday afternoon, HBO hosted the official star-studded pre-Inaugural concert with performances by Garth Brooks, Beyonce, U2, Usher, Shakira, Stevie Wonder, Heather Headley, John Legend, Will.i.am, Sheryl Crow, James Taylor, and Mary J Blige.
Out of all the performances, I enjoyed Garth's energy. Also at the event were Jamie Foxx (Who got Michelle Obama to stand up for Chi-Town), Rosario Dawson, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, and many others.
President-Elect Barack Obama will be sworn in today as the 44th U.S President with his family by his side. Check HBO On Demand for the replay in case you missed it.
