Stars perform for Obama’s ‘We Are One’ Concert
By Morelli
The We Are One concert at the Lincoln Memorial pulled crowds with big names performing for the celebration of the inauguration of Barack Obama. Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Herbie Hancock, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, Bono and Garth Brooks took to the stage to sing classics like “This Land Is Your Land”, and “America the Beautiful”.
The Obamas held the seats of honor as the diverse lineup of talent played for the throng of people gathered. Historical passages were read by Queen Latifah and Denzel Washington, and Steve Carell and Jamie Foxx also got onstage for comic relief. Foxx even did an impersonation of Barack’s monotone, staccato voice, which the future president heartily enjoyed.
