Regina Spektor at the White House?

Another how cool is this moment for the week!

Today Regina Spektor will perform at the White House as part of the first ever White House reception in honor of Jewish-American heritage. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will be having many different guest — community leaders, prominent Jewish-Americans, Olympians, members of Congress and military veterans — as they celebrate "the range and depth of Jewish-American heritage and its contributions to American culture." What makes Spektor's performance even more amazing is that she is a Jew who moved to America from Soviet Russia over twenty years ago.

Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, Rodrigo y Gabriela, the cast of Glee and now Regina Spektor? I guess the White House is a really cool venue! After all, only a couple of days later Jack White, Dave Grohl, Elvis Costello, and other performers will be at the White House for a concert in honor of Paul McCartney.

I mean really, how cool is that?
