Love the pic with Ellen Barkin, she has her hands in his upper thigh and MICK seems to be enjoying this by the look in his face! So cute!

No Voo. Rehearsals at the White House for the blues tribute they're doing.
Mick Jagger to perform at The White House Feb 21

The White House is opening its doors in an invitation to the blues. Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck, B.B. King and Keb Mo are among an A-list of artists who will perform at the White House Feb. 21 to celebrate blues music and recognize Black History Month. The program, called “In Performance at the White House: Red, White and Blues,” will be live streamed on the White House Web site. It will also be broadcast at 9 p.m. Feb. 27 on PBS stations. The American Forces Network will broadcast the program later. See the Washington Post article Obamas to hold celebration of blues music; Jagger, B.B. King and other artists to perform.

As part of their “In Performance at the White House” series, the President and First Lady will invite music legends and contemporary major artists to the White House for a celebration of Blues music and in recognition of Black History Month. The program will include performances by Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, Jeff Beck, Gary Clark, Jr., Shemekia Copeland, Buddy Guy, Warren Haynes, Mick Jagger, B.B. King, Keb Mo, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, with Taraji P. Henson as the program host and Booker T. Jones as music director and band leader.




“In Performance at the White House: Red, White and Blues” will be broadcast Monday, February 27 at 9 PM ET on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings).  The program will also be broadcast at a later date via the American Forces Network to American service men and women and civilians at U.S. Department of Defense locations around the world.

As she has done with previous White House music events, the First Lady will host a special daytime event for students. The First Lady will welcome 120 middle and high school students from across the country to take part in an interactive student workshop event: “At the Crossroads: A History of the Blues in America.” Beginning at 2:30 PM in the State Dining Room, The GRAMMY Museum’s Executive Director Robert Santelli will lead the students in an overview of the origins of the Blues, discuss important artists from throughout its history, and cover the genre’s evolution from African American spirituals and work songs to its influence on the chart-topping hits of today. Featured performers from the evening event will share their experiences as well as answer student questions about the music and entertainment world.  Students from 24 schools from the following ten communities will participate: Belleville, Illinois; Indianola, Mississippi; Kensington, Maryland; Long Beach, California; Los Angeles, California; Nashville, Tennessee; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey; Seattle, Washington and St. Louis, Missouri.

The workshop, “At the Crossroads: A History of the Blues in America,” will stream live on www.whitehouse.gov/live.

“In Performance at the White House: Red, White and Blues” will be the eighth “In Performance at the White House” program hosted by the President and Mrs. Obama.  Starting in February 2009, these events have honored the musical genius of Stevie Wonder and Sir Paul McCartney; celebrated Hispanic musical heritage during Hispanic Heritage Month; marked Black History Month with events featuring the music from the Civil Rights Movement and Motown; spotlighted Broadway and the unique spirit of the American musical; and explored the rich roots and resiliency of Country Music.

Names and Faces: Mick Jagger
By Gabriela Melendez Olivera

The Reliable Source is off but will return. Names and Faces is the column that runs in its space during holidays.

It was a long weekend (for most), and some big names were spotted at play around the District:

• Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger having lunch at Filomena on Sunday. Overheard saying, “We have a reservation for four,” with his “posh British accent,” by one of our colleagues.

“He’s really cool, by the way,” confirmed Dino Jensen, executive director at the Italian ristorante. While he couldn’t recall what the fashion icon was wearing, he did describe his attire as “casual.”

Jagger’s party had the gnocchi with pesto, chicken al mattone, penne pasta and pepperoni pizza. For dessert: the caramel eclair, tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake.

Jagger is in town to sing at Tuesday’s “In Performance at the White House,” a concert honoring the blues.

Doubt he'll call him 'Buddy Motherfucker Guy' either!

Crap, I just lost the feed, just as well as seeing Don Was there with his ridiculous hat and glasses was making me sick...

No doubt - Jeff Beck rocking like a mother, as expected!

Michelle is into it! And she moves a whole lot better than Hillary...

Yeah that second number was good, it seems Karis has replaced L'Wren? Unfortunately the man with the hat who's making all Stones fans ashamed (guess Mick's only excuse for bringing him along would because they're recording new material) came back after ducking out briefly. Can't secret service do something about him ?
