According to this piece in the Los Angeles Times (below), he and the owner of the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas are playing hardball with the brokers and scalpers and they aren't liking it. Hate to admit it, but the NATB has a point. How/why should Garth control what people do with their tickets? How can Garth dictate what happens to something that someone else owns?
Vanilla, its proponents often insist, is the most popular flavor of ice cream. It may not be exciting, but it's reliably satisfying. Rob Thomas, one of the world's foremost practitioners of pop music, operates under the same principle.
The Teena Marie show with Morris Day and the Time, scheduled for Nov. 6 at the Midland, has been canceled. No reason given. I'm guessing very slow ticket sales. Get your refund where you bought your tickets.
At the end of her memorial service on Tuesday, friends and relatives of Anne Winter heard the Simon and Garfunkel hymn "Bridge Over Troubled Waters."
I have no idea whether Anne liked or disliked that song. I'm sure, however, that it's one song you'd have never heard at her record store, Recycled Sounds, because it was too everything: mainstream, corny, big-label -- not the sound of indie-rock or the underground or the counter-culture.

LAWRENCE -- With only a rented piano, a microphone and a drum stool (which he sat on only about half the time), Ben FOlds told stories and played songs at Liberty Hall on Monday night as if he were performing for 1,100 of his close friends.
Tonight's concert at the Sprint Center by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band has been canceled due to a "death in Bruce's immediate family." Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase. More details as they come in. Update: It was a cousin of Springsteen's who was part of his traveling crew.
If you went last time (August '08), you know what happened. Ticket said 7:30 p.m.; he came on around 8:50 p.m. For tonight's show, the ticket says 7:30 p.m. All I have is this, which just arrived via e-mail from a PR representative in a note confirming our photo pass:
Official start time is 7:30 although in the past Bruce has gone on stage closer to 8 p.m.
