There won’t be Rock Lobster on the menu this week for a Biden State dinner.
Reports (The Hill etc) say that the effervescent pop group The B52s have decided not to perform at the White House dinner for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
The idea of having bubbly versions of “Love Shack” and diners dancing was nixed because of the war in the Middle East. No one wanted to see beach balls bouncing around.
First Lady Jill Biden said told media today: “While we had initially planned for the legendary B-52s to perform their iconic dance and party music, we are now in a time when so many are facing sorrow and pain. So we made a few adjustments to the entertainment portion of the evening,” she said.”
The B52s will attend the dinner as guests instead. The Marine Army and Navy Band will be the entertainment.
