Bruce Springsteen is giving President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration the Pennsylvania Avenue freeze-out, but his songs will be performed by a cover band nearby on New Jersey Avenue. "Shame on the #BStreetBand playing at #Trump's inaugural," Democratic New Jersey state Sen. Ray Lesniak tweeted last week. "We got some flak from the others, but nothing like this," B Street Band bandleader Willie Forte. Springsteen performed during Obama's 2009 inaugural, and Obama presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. The New Jersey State Society brings together those with ties to New Jersey in the Washington area and sponsors networking events.
