Yes, soul legend Aretha Franklin will perform along with other stars. But what's the biggest pop-culture story coming out of the inauguration of Barack Obama?

John Williams is writing the theme song!

That's right: the composer of Star Wars, Jaws, and Superman has written a piece that will be played by no less than classical music giants Yo-Yo Ma on cello, Itzhak Perlman on violin, Gabriela Montero on piano, and Anthony McGill on clarinet.

The name of the work has not yet been revealed.
