Jill and Joe Biden do not want to be caught grooving to 'Love Shack' at the White House right now
The White House is no “Love Shack,” and when push comes to shove, well, the B-52s are getting pushed and shoved out of the picture. The New Wave group has been booted from the itinerary of a state dinner the Bidens are throwing for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The reason given is that, apparently, it would be inappropriate to groove to the B-52s while an unrelated conflict rages elsewhere in the world.
Though Biden didn’t say so directly, the “sorrow and pain” she mentioned clearly references the violence occurring in Israel and Palestine. There have been many similar reactive decisions made across the entertainment industry, including the cancellation of the MTV Europe Music Awards and the Cairo International Film Festival.
