Avalon the phenomenon

“Who that dude sleeping with your girlfriend? Getting nude and rude in your bed? Same dude that your sister like. Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right.” Who is Mickey Avalon? He has been, at various times of his life, a drug-using kid with drug-addicted parents, a young husband and father, a prostitute in Portland trying to fund his heroin habit and a hot hip-hop star living the Hollywood highlife.

Crowing at Planet Hollywood

Why don’t they stage more concerts at the Planet Hollywood Theatre for the Performing Arts? There are only a handful of upcoming events listed on the hotel’s website, most of which are stand-up comedy. It’s been years since I was last at the Theatre (back when the hotel was still the Aladdin, and I was seeing, uh, “Weird Al” Yankovic), but tonight’s concert by Sheryl Crow reminded me of what a great music venue this is, with clear, strong sound, ...

But after a little while it’s snuck into regular rotation on your iPod and you sometimes blast it while picking out your weekend party clothes.

The “Rock God’s” Chariot?

If anything good came out of Amplify, the three-day music conference and festival wreaking havoc on downtown, clearly the environmentally conscious local rock scene got some time to shine. This black Prius sitting in front of the Icehouse Thursday night with the license plate “ROCKGOD” clearly shows us that this person not only know about the altruistic side of the normally dangerous and evil nature of Rock ‘n’ Roll, but also how to cut down his gas consumption and carbon ...
