----------------------------------------------------------------------
March 9/ 08 - Update of the Rockstar - Taste of Chaos tour :)
What an amazing show, if you haven't had the chance to see it yet, check out the schedule and take the time to check out this amazing line up.
Cobo Hall was packed last night. People came in droves from the youngest I saw about 5 to the oldest in their 50's. The kids definately displayed who they liked by the t-shirts and merchandise that they wore. It was hard to determine who was second to Avenged Sevenfold as there was lot's of support for the other bands. I had the priviledge to taking 5 others to this event and everyone had a different opinion as to who was their favorite. One girl who had been following "Blessed The Fall" was amazed how well they performed with the recent loss of some band members. One of the guys loved "Bullet for my Valentine" his exact words were "WOW, they were even better than expected". My son loved "Avenged Sevenfold" as he belted out every tune when they sang. By the way Avenged Sevenfold has really stepped up in their light and pyro show, I was very pleased to see them get to this level. My favorite was MUCC as the stage presence and show was amazing. MUCC had a stage and they knew how to use it and used it well.
All the bands were amazing and yes the merchandise stand got my money :) We were more than happy to help promote these up and coming artists. If you get a chance it is well worth the money, so go and check them out and don't forget to buy a t-shirt, hoodie, cd, dog tags, wrist bands or what ever else your favorite band has to offer :)
*Note: I would like to thank Transit Windsor for getting us there safely, the border crossing guards for letting us over the border, all the Cobo Hall staff for the amazing event they put on and the hard work they all endured to make this concert a success, Rockstar for getting all these amazing musicians together and promoting an awesome tour (and the free Rockstar's for us thirsty patrons after the concert), the behind the scenes engineers, sound techs, light techs and all that made this concert sound so amazing and most of all Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Bullet for my Valentine, Bless The Fall, Idiot Pilot, MUCC, The Underneath and D'espairsRay for coming all together to bring us this amazing tour :)

Jeff Healey - RIP
I was one of the lucky ones that had the priviledge of seeing Jeff Healey in concert over 20 years ago when he was starting out. Jeff was an amazing performer and will be sadly missed by all in the music industry. Jeff inspired many throughout the years with his dedication, desire and love of music. Jeff's "Stuck In The Middle With You" and "I Should Have Told You" while "Angel Eyes" will be singing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" in our hearts forever.
Our condolences go out to the Healey family, band members and friends.

Despite long battle with cancer, Jeff Healey's death still shocking, bandmate
13 hours ago
TORONTO — Acclaimed jazz and rock guitarist Jeff Healey was remembered Sunday as a musician of rare ability who had a wicked sense of humour and a generous nature as fans and bandmates mourned his death at age 41, following a battle with cancer.
Bandmates of Canadian rock and jazz legend Jeff Healey were among those shocked by the news of his death Sunday.
Healey died Sunday evening in a Toronto hospital surrounded by family and a bandmate, Colin Bray.
Bray, the bass player with Jeff Healey's jazz Wizards and the frontman's long-time friend, said he and many others expected the guitarist to rally from this latest illness.
"I don't think any of us thought this was going to happen," Bray said in a telephone interview. "We just thought he was going to bounce back as he always does."
Healey had battled with cancer since the age of one when a rare form of retinal cancer known as Retinoblastoma claimed his eyesight.
Bray said Healey had been hospitalized for a week and that his advanced lung cancer made his final hours difficult.
Healey had undergone numerous operations in recent years to remove tumours from his lungs and leg.
Bray and fellow bandmate Gary Scriven remembered their frontman as not only a world-class musician but an incredibly strong person with the capacity to motivate those he worked with.
Scriven called Healey inspirational and praised the boundless enthusiasm that allowed him to continue performing live only four weeks before his death.
"He drew his strength from somewhere, I don't know where, but it spread among the band and flowed into the audience," Scriven said.
Healey rose to stardom as the leader of the Jeff Healey Band, a rock-oriented trio that garnered a Juno award, international acclaim and platinum record sales with the 1988 album "See the Light."
But Bray and Scriven said Healey's true love was jazz, the genre that dominated his last three albums with the Jazz Wizards.
Healey's guitar prowess was characterized by a unique playing-style that saw him lay the instrument across his lap.
It led him to share stages with such rock luminaries as George Harrison, Stevie Ray Vaughan and B.B. King, but Bray said jazz allowed him to exercise his other instrumental talents such as trumpet and drums.
Healey's love of jazz also led him to host radio shows on the CBC and a local Toronto station where he spun long-forgotten numbers from his personal collection of over 30,000 vinyl records.
But Bray said his "best friend" saw himself first and foremost as an entertainer and said Healey seemed to derive therapeutic benefits from playing live shows.
Recalling Healey's weakened condition at his final performance on Feb. 2 in Sarnia, Ont., Bray said Healey seemed to draw strength as the set progressed.
"At the end of it, I can't believe how much better he looked. It was like blood to him."
Healey's death came weeks before the release of his first rock album in eight years.
"Mess of Blues" is slated for a North American release on April 22.
Healey is backed on the album by the resident band at Jeff Healey's Roadhouse, the blues club he founded and named after a 1989 Patrick Swayze movie in which he appeared.
The album features two live tracks recorded in the last few months of his life.
The Grammy-nominated musician is survived by his wife Christie and two children; daughter Rachel, 13 and son Derek, 3.
Funeral and memorial arrangements have not yet been announced.
Our condolences go out to the Healey family, band members and friends.

The 2008 National Black Arts Festival!
---------------------------------------
The National Black Arts Festival is proud to partner with the Woodruff Arts Center to provide compelling forums for expression. The living legacy of the Civil Rights Movement has brought our groups together with a vision for collaboration. Through our programs we will explore the past struggle towards the dream, as well as the future of a civil, cultural, democratic and human rights legacy.
This unprecedented year-long collaboration centered on the language and living legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. The Atlanta Dialogue: Artists and the Civil Rights Continuum is comprised of performances and community discussions throughout 2008 that will explore the artists, civil rights and Atlanta’s role in the movement. The Atlanta Dialogue will include families that will become immersed into the process of this year-long collaboration.
The Woodruff Arts Center and its divisions—Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, High Museum of Art, and Young Audiences—and the National Black Arts Festival, will hold events and dialogues throughout 2008.
A full schedule of the dialogues and events can be found online at www.theatlantadialogue.org. New programming will also be added throughout the year.

VH1 Casting Call
YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR OWN REALITY SHOW??????
If I had a dime for every time someone has asked me about getting their own show, I'd be a richer dude, however what I don't understand is when I offer you guys something that could possibly lead up into having your own show, the response is a bit weak. So let's try this again.

FLAVOR OF LOVE
I LOVE NEW YORKAND
ROCK of LOVE
Comes a new show about the baddest kept women in the world, THE GOLD DIGGER. The woman who refuses to date a man, who can't take care of her finacial needs. A woman who loves to shop, eat out and travel the world. And doesn't care, what everyone thinks, she's getting her bills paid.
VH1 is looking for women (must be 21 or over) who want to put their gold-digging skills to the test on a fun new reality show!! If there's no shame in YOUR gold-digging game, and you want to compete for prize money as ... America's best gold-digger in a fabulous LA mansion, contact us right away!! This could be the chance to meet the Millionaire of your dreams! Therefore I am looking for women 21-34 who have the guts to step up and teach the world how to catch a baller. Like Kanye said, I'm not saying she a gold digger, but she ain't messin wit no broke N***. I don't care how tall, fat, or attractive you think you may or not be, I am looking for THE REAL DEAL. You got the heart and the confidence, them step up, THIS IS A BIG SHOW and it could lead to bigger opportunities.
Send an e-mail to watr2drink@aol.com with the following information: your name, phone numbers, e-mail, age, myspace or facebook page, and what city you live in (must be in or able to travel to Los Angeles area for the show).
