Don’t Sell Your Soul for Tickets

How much is too much? It’s a topic we’ve touched on in the past, and back when Leonard Cohen came to the K-Rock Centre, pairs of tickets to his show were being sold on eBay for as much as $1,400. While I wasn’t specifically watching to see if Elton John tickets would surpass that [...]

How To Be An Audience, Not A Spectator (Part 1 of 2)

Over the years, I’ve been in just about every kind of show, band, play, art opening and any other type of performance you can think of.  Hence, I think that I have a sound understanding of what it means to be a good performer, as well as the characteristics of the best audience members.  On [...]

You’ll Have a Gael, Old Time

Let’s take a moment to reflect on some of the positive aspects of Queen’s Homecoming. The men and women in law enforcement, as well as University and community volunteers did a fine job ensuring that the illegal Aberdeen street party was as safe as humanly possible.

The Windy City

A while back, I was fortunate enough to see Chris Brown perform at a special Apple Crisp event, which was recorded for CBC’s Bandwidth. In between songs, Chris gave a shout out to Wolfe Island Residents for the Environment (WIRE), whose mission is to ensure the lawful development of a proposed wind farm on [...]
