While my WordPress gently weeps.
the melancholia of this night with Ministry came from the fact that the 49-year-old Jourgensen, the only constant through the band’s nearly three-decade history, did not use his advertised farewell jaunt to take stock of his many accomplishments and musical evolutions.

I would never have clicked these if Intel hadn’t made sure to drop Christoper Guest’s name. That said, “Everything Has Changed” is kind of a catchy little ditty, albeit not exactly “Lick my Love Pump.”

Years ago, Spin Magazine commissioned Pen & Pixel, the originators of this art form, to work their collage magic on Nine Inch Nails and Jewel. Unfortunately, Google-Fu has failed me.

Tickets for the Earth, Wind, and Fire gig christening the new MGM Grand Ballroom start at $150. Start. Someday maybe I will see a show in here and be blown away by its intimacy and acoustics. Perhaps it is a regular Bourbon Tabernacle.
I suspect this concert is pitched toward affluent fiftysomethings who were waiting for a band like EWF to play in a venue with free lighted parking and just may stop off for some Canasta on the way out. This beats the country acts that graced the former MGMGD’s Stage Bar, but still… Victor and I saw EWF a few years ago in a park in Lansing for a fraction of this price.
