Reunion Tours / Arcade Fire Tickets Still Available

A few weeks ago, a friend asked me who I thought would be a big act when we were our parents age.  Who will be our Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Brian Wilson?  After immediately throwing out Radiohead and Thom Yorke, I was kind of at a loss.

Ben Ratliff connects our current obsession with reunion tours with this same concept yesterday's NY Times:

We’re seeing the winnowing of the live-music era in America, as well as the end of belief in the album. Any crisis of belief leads to sanctification and orthodoxy; people want to see the saints work their magic. Ashley Capps, who helps produce mid-June’s Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn. — which has booked the Police as one of its headliners this year — put it in a slightly simpler way. “When I was growing up, the release of an album was an event,” he said. “We’ve moved away from the notion that the release of a recording is an event. Somebody can release a great album and get fantastic reviews and everybody’s talking about it, but how long does that last? Six weeks? In that sense, live performances are becoming the important event.”

Couldn't agree more.  It ties right into Buzz Vertigo.  An album leaks and by the time the album is actually in stores, everyone is done with it.  Is that why there are still Arcade Fire tickets on sale? LOTS on Wednesday!!

Well said, such a person should be a good sentence, or the future will be more rampant.

will be happy to be proved wrong with this one.... but having done survival training during my Army days, I have to admit to a raised eyebrow with this as well.

Start by making the flower fairies with the patterns provide, then get crazy and with little tweeking and alterations, the flower fairies can become as unique as the flowers in your own garden. Because this is such a quick, easy project, it won't be long til you have a bouquet of Flower Fairy Friends. Enjoy!

We must not allow our creative protestto degenerate into physical violence. again and again we mustrise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soulforce. the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negrocommunity must not lead us to distrust of all white people, formany of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence heretoday, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up withour destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to ourfreedom.

Wow. I think this gets back to personal responsibility. The teacher should not have said what was said. The comment could have been made in a more authoritative tone. e.g. You should follow the dress code. The student should not have broken the rules and the mom should accept responsibility for raising her daughter improperly. g
