President Obama invites Black Keys to play White House
Yesterday (July 1), Barack Obama tweeted that he was listening to OutKast's "Liberation" and the Black Keys' "Lonely Boy" after a fan asked him for his current favorite songs in a #AskPOTUS sesh. The Black Keys hit him back, asking if they could use Air Force One for their upcoming gigs. The POTUS responded with a no, but put a pretty decent offer on the table.
It's not mine; just a loaner. Maybe you can come play at the White House sometime instead? https://t.co/srZKB6plzz

The band hasn't publicly responded, though they did retweet Obama's response. Are moves already being made behind the scenes? Maybe! The Ohio band has roughly a year and a half to make it happen, or else they'll have to bank on the musical taste of the next officeholder.
