Obama's Inauguration: Will Bruce Springsteen perform?
Current forecast: 33% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 33% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Several performers' names have been suggested: Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Will.i.am, etc. Most of the names have been black, but Obama is half-Caucasian and might want to balance the ceremony accordingly. Perhaps there will be a reading by a black author, and a music performance by a white one. Several white performers (like Wilco) have actively supported Obama.
The Star Online reports, "Veteran rocker Bruce Springsteen is expected to release a new album next year to coincide with the inauguration of US President-elect Barack Obama.
The album will comprise material left over from the Magic album from last year.
It is expected to include the song Workin' on a Dream, which debuted at an Obama rally."
This suspend date is being placed a few days ahead of the actual inauguration in order to lessen the chance that the answer will be obvious when the question is suspended.

hummm, why do people say black..but then call other people caucasian not white?
And i beleive Black is a term used referring to indviduals whose ancestors were slaves...in the United states... Mr Obama is technically Kenyan American since he knows his ancestors origin of birth as opposed to African Americans who only know the continent from which their ancestors came not the country. Much like German-Americans, Italian Americans, Canadian Americans....are all able to name the Country of origin....
The Oxford says: Afrikaner: n. Afrikaans-speaking white person in S.Africa, esp. of Dutch descent. (And there you will see the source of confusion, officially a single "a" in Afrikaner and a "aa" in the Afrikaans language. Fancy that!).
