Bela Fleck & The Flecktones in New England - " … threw a Christmas party on Saturday for a couple thousand music lovers at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton, Mass." - Hartford Courant

Billy Joel in New Zealand - "Joel's many voices have told stories of characters, lives and events that have been bottled and preserved for our pleasure." - Stuff.co.nz

Oasis in Chicago - "With a countenance like an angry gorilla and body language that seemed to suggest: 'I'm better than you and I know it,'singer Liam Gallagher definitely had his egotistic rocker schtick down pat." - The Chicago Tribune

    Although Andy Warhol is dead in this world, I have it on good authority that he's still milking his 15 minutes of fame in the next world.

    Lady GaGa herself says she is the future of pop, not the Times UK (and maybe she is in the UK -- they're very into campy, fluffy pop over there). But I see your point, Infant. Grace Jones and others mined this territory years ago, and as for her "Warholian" persona, even HE has been dead for 20 years. But we will see, won't we? Anything can happen, and usually does.

    Lady Gaga is so worried about trying to be futuristic, and I bet she'll be remembered the same way as a really bad sci-fi movie.

    The ones that try too hard never get it right!

    Future of pop?  More like the resurgence of disco.
