Wild Bill's Big List

Printed here is the list of inaugural entertainment obtained from President Clinton by New Times. In tribute to outgoing veep Danny Quayle, we've used the new administration's spelling on all names. (Yes, we'd also like to know who Whoopi Goldbert is.) Beyond (mis)spelling, don't count on this for complete accuracy. For example, we know Loudon Wainwright III canceled his Stephen Talkhouse gig so he could perform at the D.C. festivities. He's not on the list. Then again, neither are Geto Boys, Ice Cube, Professor Griff, Ice-T....
