The legendary Alice Cooper rocked the stage during his jaw dropping performance last night at the Akron Civic Theatre in Akron, Ohio.  During his set, he sang some of his most popular hits such as “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, “Billion Dollar Babies”, “Poison”, “Feed My Frankenstein”, and “School’s Out”.   Cooper also performed 3 song covers which were “Pinball Wizard” by The Who, “Suffragette City” by David Bowie, and “Ace of Spades” by Motorhead.   He sang these songs to pay tribute to the fallen but not forgotten Keith Moon, David Bowie, and Lemmy Kilmister.

Various props and special effects were used during some of the songs.  From fireworks to the guillotine to a giant Frankenstein costume, I  applaud everyone involved in making the concerts such a great experience for the audience.  Alice Cooper’s shows are more than just a concert, it’s an act, it’s so original and unique.  I have been to many concerts over the years but I have never been to one quite like an Alice Cooper concert.  This was definitely far from any other concert I have attended and it was worth every penny.

Cleveland , OH- The  Swedish metal band Avatar did a headlining appearance over the weekend to the delight of fans from far and wide. The World Famous Agora played host to the night of macabre with a complete line up of some of the best and the brightest with Avatar headlining the show . The Feathers and Flesh tour brought over 90 minutes of music and  theatrics  to the packed venue . The hits included ” Regret ” , ” Paint Me Red “,” Fiddlers Farewell ” and many many more . I had the chance to speak with  drummer John Alfredsson one of the founders of the band and asked, did he have a light bulb moment , the moment when a kid see a movie and wants to become and actor  or sees  a  band and wants to play on stage so I asked him if he had one . He stated that after seeing Metallica on Swedish TV  with the S & M  tour video he knew what he wanted to do . I am more that willing to place a wager that he is also some kids light bulb moment and you could not ask for a better inspiration then Avatar. The supports acts were also no lightweights to the scene with One Eyed Doll , Open Your Eyes and Wednesday 13 bringing their own unique vision to the night. A special note to keep an eye for Open Your Eyes, they are going to be huge someday !  Avatar is currently on tour with Avenged Sevenfold so make sure to see them in a city near you !

Heroes , it is a word overused time and time gain.The sports hero, the movie hero, how about the real heroes  .The pilots and the police officers and the physicians and scientists that work tirelessly to protect us and keep us safe .The  truth  is that real heroes are just humans put in extraordinary situations and are able to overcome adversity with skill, determination, intelligence and dignity. This is the story of one such hero Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.

This is the story of the man behind the action and the media and public scrutiny that followed the ” Miracle on The Hudson ” .While the outside world saw the hero , the powers that be saw a scapegoat and looked to ruin and destroy this man .  A modern David and Goliath you might say.  The movie is done in stark realism with Tom Hanks ( on of the best actors of the last 40 years ) in the main role with an outstanding supporting cast and director .The talents of Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Clint Eastwood made what could have been just an exploitative film into a true story of humanity and triumph . We highly recommend this film and give it 5 stars .The movie is currently in theaters nationwide

· Cheech Marin is a paradox in the world of entertainment. Cheech is an actor, director, writer, musician, art collector, and humanitarian, a man who has enough talent, humor, and intelligence to do just about anything. Cheech (real name Richard) Marin was born in South Central Los Angeles and met Tommy Chong in Vancouver, British Columbia as a political refugee. Six of their albums went gold, four were nominated for Grammys, and Los Cochinos won the 1973 Grammy for Best Comedy Recording. More: http://bit.ly/2b9EQgg
