If you like seeing an old dude wearing lipstick, then you have the right band. Come see Robert Smith and the Cure play at the Dodge Theater here in Phoenix. Here is some info from wikipedia:

The Cure are an English rock band that formed in Crawley, Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several lineup changes, with frontman, guitarist and main songwriter Robert Smith—known for his iconic wild hair, pale complexion, smudged lipstick and frequently gloomy and introspective lyrics—being the only constant member.

The members of The Cure first started releasing music in the late 1970s. Their first album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), and early singles placed them as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s the band’s increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. After the release of 1982’s Pornography, the band’s future was uncertain and frontman Robert Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had cultivated. With the 1982 single “Let’s Go to Bed” Smith began to inject more of a pop sensibility into the band’s music. The Cure’s popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States, where the songs “Just Like Heaven”, “Lovesong” and “Friday I’m in Love” entered the Billboard Top 40 charts. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world and have sold an estimated 27 million albums as of 2004.[1] As of 2007, The Cure have released twelve studio albums and over thirty singles, with a thirteenth album in the works.

The godfather of goofy hair himself is coming to Phoenix. Kenny G is coming to play at the Dodge Theater. Here is some info from his wiki:

Kenneth Gorelick (born June 5, 1956), better known by his stage name Kenny G, is an American saxophonist whose fourth album, Duotones, brought him “breakthrough success” in 1986. Kenny’s main instrument is the soprano saxophone, but he also plays the alto and tenor saxophone and the flute on occasion

Kenny was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and first came into contact with a saxophone when he heard someone performing with one on The Ed Sullivan Show. He learned how to play under the direction of local trumpeter Gerald Pfister and by practicing along with records (mostly of Grover Washington, Jr.), trying to emulate the sounds that he was hearing. His early studies with Pfister resulted in his ability to play the saxophone horizontally, without compromising his control of the pitch. This would later be regarded as a revolution in modern saxophone technique.[citation needed] At Franklin High School he failed to get into the jazz band when he applied, although was accepted the following year when he tried again.He also played for his high school golf team, a sport which he had loved ever since his older brother, Brian Gorelick, introduced it to him when he was ten years old.. Brian Gorelick is currently a music professor and choir conductor at Wake Forest University.

Hey everyone, Katt Williams is coming to Phoenix soon. He is performing at the Dodge Theater and you need to go. Here is some info from his wiki:

Born in Cincinnati and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Williams was the product of a socially and politically charged household. His parents’ influence and teachings caused him to briefly join the Nation of Islam while living in the San Francisco Bay Area. An avid book lover, Katt’s parents banned him from reading as a form of punishment when he got into trouble. When he was 12, he won a number of awards for science projects, which landed him a full scholarship to The National Science Academy in Dayton, which he intentionally sabotaged. “I was young. You know when you are young, you just do what you do. I can use my I.Q. now. I had a high I.Q as an 8 years old. So you know what was I gonna do with it. I was just trying to be impressive and not mess up.”

As a means to get into a nightclub where he was underage one fateful evening, Katt noticed that they weren’t checking ID’s in the line for comics and proceeded to enter the club through that entrance. “I was so nervous but everyone laughed and thought I was funny. After that, I was opened up to the wonderful world of comedy … [I]mprov is where a comic really gets to shine, if he is good. That’s as close as a comedian can get to the playoffs. I went through those years where I wanted to be the funny comic, now I’m trying to be the greatest comic of my time.”

In 1999 Katt became a presence at The Improv, The Comedy Club, The Icehouse and even had his own room at The Hollywood Park Casino where he had a large, loyal following. He appeared on the BET network’s shows, such as Comic View, Rip the Runway, Black Carpet, 106th & Park, The BET Awards and BET Comedy Awards. Throughout his success he has been massively embraced by the Hip Hop community, receiving praise from Master P (“Hands down Katt Williams is the next Richard Pryor”) and Snoop Dogg (“Katt is doing his comedy thing so flamboyantly and so fly with spirit of the late great Red Foxx and the spirit of Richard Pryor”) Last month Katt hosted the 1st Annual BET ‘Hip Hop’ Award Show from The Civic Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Moscow Ballet is coming to the Dodge Theater to preform the Nutcracker. Come to Phoenix for the event. Here is some info from wiki:

The Nutcracker (Russian: Щелкунчик) Op. 71, is a fairy tale-ballet in two acts, three tableaux, by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1891–92, and based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (German: Der Nussknacker und der Mäusekönig), a story by E. T. A. Hoffmann (1816). Alexandre Dumas père’s adaptation of the story was set to music by Tchaikovsky (after a libretto possibly written by Marius Petipa and commissioned by the administrator of the Imperial Theatres Ivan Vsevolozhsky in 1891).

In Western countries, this ballet has become among the most popular ballets performed, primarily around Christmas time.

A selection of eight of the more popular numbers from the ballet was made by the composer before the ballet’s December 1892 premiere, forming The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a, intended for concert performance. The suite was first performed, under the composer’s direction, on 19 March 1892 at an assembly of the St. Petersburg branch of the Musical Society. The suite became instantly popular; the complete ballet did not achieve its great popularity until around the mid-1960s. Some indication of how much The Nutcracker Suite once eclipsed the fame of the ballet may be found in Deems Taylor’s commentary in the roadshow version of Walt Disney’s 1940 animated film Fantasia, which features the suite as one of the animated segments. Taylor observes matter-of-factly, “[The ballet] isn’t performed anymore”, a statement which certainly does not hold true today, and, indeed, has not been true since the mid-1950s, when George Balanchine’s production achieved great popularity in New York.

Ahhhh Snap! The Super Bowl is come to Phoenix. This of off the hizzle for shizzle. Get your tickets here while you can. The game is at the University of Phoenix (Cardinals) Stadium. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Super Bowl XLII will be the 42nd annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) between the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC) champions. The game is scheduled to be played following the 2007 regular season on February 3, 2008 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. This will be the second time that the Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area will host a Super Bowl game; Super Bowl XXX in January 1996 was played in Tempe’s Sun Devil Stadium.

The league contemplated the idea of holding Super Bowl XLII in either New York City or Washington, D.C. as a symbol of the recovery from the September 11, 2001 attacks. However, New York City was not even considered as a finalist for the following two reasons:

1. The proposed renovations to Giants Stadium were still being disputed among its stadium representatives.
2. At the time, New York City and the New York Jets still had not finalized a plan to build the new West Side Stadium (Ultimately, the deal fell through).

When NFL owners awarded Super Bowl XLII to Glendale during their October 30, 2003 meeting in Chicago, Illinois, they rejected Washington because they preferred a warmer and drier climate.

During a February 6, 2007 ceremony with Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, the NFL and the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee unveiled the slogan “Who Wants It More?” along with its mascot “Spike the Super Ball” (an anthropomorphized football with sunglasses and sneakers) and a large “Super Bowl XLII Countdown Clock” at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The Super Bowl XLII logo was also unveiled, featuring the shape of the state of Arizona in red. The two horizontal white stripes in the middle represent the vertical lines on the University of Phoenix Stadium. The turquoise Roman Numerals represent the Native American culture of Arizona. The red star represents the AFC and the blue star represents the NFC.

The LA Rams… Oopps, the St. Louis Rams are coming to Phoenix to play the Cardinals. Come to the University of Phoenix Stadium for the game. Here is some info from wikipedia:

The St. Louis Rams are a professional American football team based in St. Louis, Missouri. They are currently members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team has won three NFL Championships including one Super Bowl.

The Rams began playing in 1937 in Cleveland, Ohio as a second incarnation of the previous Cleveland Rams team that was a charter member of the 1936-37 American Football League. Although the NFL granted membership to the same owner, this new NFL franchise technically became a separate entity since only four of the players (William “Bud” Cooper, Harry “The Horse” Mattos, Stan Pincura, Mike Sebastian) and none of the team’s personnel joined the new NFL team.[1]

The team then became known as the Los Angeles Rams after the club moved to Los Angeles, California in 1946. Following the 1979 season, the Rams moved south to the suburbs in nearby Orange County, playing their home games at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim for fifteen seasons (1980-94), keeping the Los Angeles name. The club moved east to St. Louis prior to the 1995 season.

The Cardinals may be a smaller bird then a Falcons, but this is football and not real birds now is it. Come to the University of Phoenix Stadium for the game. Here is some info from wikipedia:

The Atlanta Falcons franchise began on June 30, 1965 when NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle granted ownership to Rankin M. Smith Sr. The Atlanta Falcons would draft LB Tommy Nobis from the University of Texas with the first pick of the 1966 NFL Draft, making him the first ever Falcon.

The Falcons had its first season in 1966, and had its first game (preseason) on August 1, 1966 where it was handed a defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles. Losing its first nine games that season, its first victory was on the road against the New York Giants. It would finish the 1960s with only 12 wins. The Falcons would have its first Monday Night Football game in Atlanta during the 1970 season, and although it had a losing record in 1970, the 1971 season was its first winning record.

In the 1978 season, the Falcons entered its first playoff series, and won the Wild Card Playoffs against the Eagles only to lose to the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional Playoffs. In 1980, it finished 12-4 only to lose again to the Cowboys in the Divisional Playoffs. After the 1981 season, the Atlanta Falcons would not see another playoff series until 1991, when it lost to the Washington Redskins in the Divisional Playoffs.

The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team. The team plays its home games in San Francisco, California, while the club’s headquarters and practice facility are located in Santa Clara, California. They are currently members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

The 49ers began play in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and joined the NFL in 1950 after the AAFC merged into the older league. The team currently shares the record for most Super Bowl victories (five) with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys, and is the only team with two or more appearances in the Super Bowl to remain undefeated in the championship game. The 49ers teams of the 1980s and early 1990s are considered to be among the greatest teams in NFL history. Many of the NFL’s greatest players (including Joe Montana, Steve Young, Ronnie Lott, and Jerry Rice) played for the 49ers during this period. Additionally, some of the most memorable plays (including “The Catch”) and games (such as Super Bowl XXIII) were played by this team.
