Some of you may be rolling your eyes, but there are just some musicians who simply define a generation, and influence future generations of artists. In our opinion, Sting is one of those people.
Sting is Coming, Sting is Coming!
Josh Groban: Fame, Fortune, Music and He Owes It To Rosie O'Donnell?
Josh Groban has been in the musical limelight for over ten years now. Though, his lofty career goals started long before as a youngster hopping from one artist-based school to the next. If we could all be so lucky, he moved to Bridges Academy from a more traditional middle school because he didn't have enough artistic input. He then participated in artistic performance camps and moved on to Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. All the while he was still planning to be a musical theater artist rather than settling into a singer/songwriter career.
U2 and Lenny Kravitz: Truly Awesome In Every Sense
There are no words to describe the size, intensity and pure unadulterated awe that occurred last night at Qwest Field. As we mentioned, it took four days just to assemble the huge stage designed solely to provide fans a 360 degree view of the U2 show that has been two years in coming. Even professional photographers shooting the show had a palpable excitement among them as we all prepared to grab shots during the meager three songs we're allotted. As a matter of fact, we may or may not have (but definitely did) take photos of ourselves in front of the stage.
U2 and Their Massive Setup
Today we were invited to journey into the middle of what seemed like another dimension. Well, another level anyway... another level of ROCKING! Okay, maybe not, but what we witnessed was unlike anything we'd seen before. As we were escorted onto the pitch at Qwest Field, a towering structure not unlike a four-legged spider greeted us. Just standing near it made us nervous -- we couldn't even imagine how long it must take to put something like that together, both on paper and in reality.

A Reason to Visit Showbox SoDo
Just this weekend, we were declaring that we would never set foot in the new Showbox SoDo. That the Fenix has always been a terrible venue, regardless of name, owner, or minor renovations. That it would take some big name to get us to attend a show there, say, Bjork, Sufjan, maybe Broken Social Scene....
