WASHINGTON - Mick Jagger is going to the White House. He will be part of a celebration of the blues for Black History Month at the White House next Tuesday.

Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Keb Mo will also perform.

It will run on PBS stations beginning February 27.

Somehow I doubt Mick will be singing “Brown Sugar”?

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he’s doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin’ when it’s gonna stop
House boy knows that he’s doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now

Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin’ now, brown sugar just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I’m no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you...how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a...just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

One thing you’ll never hear at Obama’s White House is Brooks and Dunn’s “Hard Working Man.”

Might I presume that Kanye West be on hand with the Obamas for the celebration of White History Month?

Who knew Mick was a black dude? Well, Hussein’s just half.

PBS or Obama?

If you don't contribute, this station can't bring you cool politicians like Obama and will be forced to show reruns of the Dole-McCain Hour.

Who’s coming during “Drug Prevention Month”? Keith Richards?

[Puppage]

Well, I guess I’ll have to find someone else with whom to celebrate White History Month with now.Thanks, Mick

Jagger is black?

[mc5cents]

Nope, no “Brown Sugar”, he will perform “Paint it Black” I’m sure. :-))

[presently no screen name]

Gov’t celebrating race is racial discrimination, IMO. And then add the insult we foot the bill.

“Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name”.

[jakerobins]

What Bill Clinton wasn’t invited? Wasn’t he called the “First Black President”??

[ColdOne]

Possibly, I heard Whitney had to cancel.
