And ne'er the twain shall meet


Vs.



A Laugh Out Loud scheduling convergence at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden:
The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, on Friday July 23, followed just five days later by that "Celebration of Women in Music," the Lilith tour, on July 28.

Can you feel the extreme surges in testosterone and estrogen coming?

Mayhem Festival publicist Greg Cortez noted that the Korn/Rob Zombie-headlined, metal tour and the Sarah McLachlan-founded Lilith kicked off on the same exact day in San Bernardino, Calif. and Los Angeles, respectively.
"The tours seem to be following each other. It's ironic - it's totally ironic," he said.

Imagine the contrasting audiences, and performer/crew member personalities those arena staffers are going to be dealing with in a span of just five days.

Better them than me!

Should've been sung by a woman in the first place

Thanks to a high school classmate of mine for referring me to this performance of "Soul Sister" by Train. This young lady, Keara, is a student at Souderton Area High School, I'm told.
Dig the Seagull guitar, and the natural reverb of the room - like what Elvis did with recording "Heartbreak Hotel" in a stairwell.
