U2 TONIGHT - in Milwaukee!
Where are all the GA ticket holders to go once inside the Bradley center? ALL GA TICKET HOLDERS FOR THE BRADLEY CENTER GO TO LOBBY DOOR C AS EARLY AS NOON TODAY! Doors will open by 6pm. Don’t forget, whether you get into the elipse or not, 90% of the time Bono and the band perform on the main stage so focus your efforts there. And if you see some dork in an 80s Airwaves jersey, make room for the wide-body!
Also, Dr. Hal is back up with bandwidth and should have a new Friday Night Fantasy Concert this coming Friday! Three Cheers!!!
A loyal listener sent an email asking us about Rockstar: INXS, and this is what I had to say about the whole process:
“What a lot of people don’t realize is that INXS had hired another lead signer on their own in ‘99 and it didn’t work out. I’m sure this seemed like a better idea and it seems now, after the fact, it really was. Both Aimee and I were against the whole idea at first, but we watched the first episode and become hooked from that point. Today, they’ve exposed a whole new generation to their back music catalog and reminded all the others just how many great songs they’ve released.
Aimee and I both really liked Marty, from Chicago, but you’re right JD has that INXS sound that was really hard to argue against. The one song he wrote, Dirty Vegas, was a PERFECT INXS song - I liked it better than the songs INXS wrote actually. So, I think it went to the right guy, even though Aimee can’t stand him, he should have the voice and the skills to get INXS back out into the public. He just looks so young compared to all those old bastards. I suppose six months out on the road will fix some of that though.”
