I am so over this guy, whatever sales and pundits claim, his last great moment, except for a song here and there, was the American Gangster soundtrack. On stage his ego sticks to you like gum on your shoes… clear so far?
On Memorial Day Weekend, September 1st and 2nd, at Fairmont Park (incidentally, the same time as Rock The Bells is at PNC) the show will come on and the line up is on the ompressive side.

But that isn't the only name: Pearl Jam dumped us on their 25th anniversary trot, Dirty Projectors will have a new set… Santigold… really, all that's missing is Jack White. $100 for one and, a buck 35 for two -not bad, right. BUT caveat emptor, $350 if you wait till the last minute. Me? I'll be at home writing. You? Whatever you do, don't miss D'Angelo…
