Garth Brooks will be performing at Joe Biden’s inauguration; calls for unity

written by Ruben Jay

Garth Brooks announced that he will be performing at the inauguration ceremony for President Elect Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Brooks claims that this move is not a political move but a move for unity. “This is a great day in our household, this is not a political statement, this is a statement of unity,” Brooks said Monday. “This is history, and it is an honor to get to serve.”

Brooks was reportedly asked to perform by soon to be First Lady, Jill Biden. Brooks will be performing during as part of the swearing in ceremony for the Biden/Harris administration.

“There is a common theme in every presidential election: New beginnings, new starts, but it is the word unity, the word love, the word that we belong to each other. It is going to take all of us, what I want for all of us to do is listen,” Brooks said.  “We are more divided than ever, that bridge that brings us together, it is reaching across, loving one another, because that is what is going to get us through the most divided times that we have.”

Brooks has performed at every Presidential inauguration since Jimmy Carter except for Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, the latter due to a scheduling conflict. Brooks will also be sharing the stage with Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez.

written by Ruben Jay

Host of The Late Late Show on CBS, James Corden, says he is home sick.

While he is homesick and has hinted at ending his run as the host of the Late Late Show, Corden still has a year and a half left on his current contract. Corden says that ending the show would be a “personal decision” and not “professional.”

Corden renewed his contract in 2019 and told the Sun he misses his home. It will be about people at home who we miss very, very much, who we are homesick for. I also feel like my wife and I have three young children, and they are three young grandchildren that we’ve taken away from people.”

Corden and his wife have 3 children. He also admits that the feeling of homesick could be mainly due to the pandemic. Travel has been restricted and he has not been able to travel home much.

Corden is best known for his segment, “Carpool Karaoke,” where Corden and a guest drives in LA singing some of their favorite songs.
