Soul Asylum did a little soul searching before accepting an invitation to perform at the White House. "I just thought, `Oh brother. Another weird gig,' " said guitarist Danny Murphy. "My personal reaction was, `I don't know. Is it worth doing?' "And (road manager) Bill Sullivan was like, `Well, Dan, you're never going to win a World Series - you better go play.' " The band's 20-minute set will be part of a bill-signing ceremony Tuesday for the National and Community Service Act of 1993. The law will allow young people to earn money for college through community service.
