I stand corrected

You might think the name of this blog is intended as a snarky joke, a reference to the lack of cultural events or nightlife here in the Vegas suburbs. And you'd be right.

But over at HendersonLive.com (I can only hope I stole their preferred name), proof that I was a bit hasty in my conclusions has once again slapped me in the face like a proverbial slap in the face.

That's right, on Sept. 1 ... LIVE! at the Henderson Pavilion ... it's Vince Neil! With special guests QUIET RIOT (not sure why that's in all caps -- Kevin Dubrow must have been compensating for something) and Slaughter. In fact, this event is so special, it merits a direct quote from the web site:

Vince Neil with special Guest Stars QUIET RIOT and Slaughter, "three of your favorites on one stage," with rock n� roll violin phenom Antonio Pontarelli as their opening act!!
If your flavor of music happens to be metal/rock you won't want to miss this.

OK. Apparently, "three of your favorites on one stage" is a direct quote from somebody or other. But whom? Sebastian Bach? Pamela Anderson? That bald, fat guy who hosted "Headbanger's Ball" on MTV? Some random kid in a Black Sabbath t-shirt playing Asteroids and sucking down a 90-oz Mountain Dew at a truck stop in Baker, Calif.? We need clarification, o great webmaster of HendersonLive.com.

And anytime you get to use "rock n? roll violin phenom" (sic) in a promo, you know you've got musical gold on your hands. Just stand back and count the money.
