Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
After enduring the finals of the Musicpalooza Contest today - of which three of the solo acts were basically Karaoke performances (Danielle Tucker got a premature reprieve when the CD she was singing to malfunctioned – not to mention the sound problems with some of the other acts), I helped myself to a nice serving of Joan Jett's sound check...and she sounded pretty damn good. In fact, it was so much like a watching a private mini-concert, I no longer felt the need to stay for the show. Had I stayed and planted myself for a decent, unreserved seat, I would've had to sit through two opening acts – the winners of the Musicpalooza Contest whom I had already seen "perform" just a little while earlier. Albeit talented, I definitely didn't feel the need or desire for a repeat. So, I helped myself to a timely exit of the fair.— July 3, 2009 11:11 p.m.
