…or at least local dancer Michael Kim can.
The best dance reality competition on television, Fox network’s So You Think You Can Dance, just wrapped up its six-city audition phase for the current fourth season earlier tonight. All of the candidates who make it through the first grueling phase then move on to an even […]
It looks like it was raining fairly hard this morning in New York, but that didn’t stop women around my age from showing up to drool and reminisce over the reunited New Kids on the Block when they appeared at Rockefeller Plaza. Since I was never into boy bands, I can’t say I share […]
Forty years ago yesterday, on April 4, 1968, civil rights leader Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. The very next night, “Soul Brother Number One” and “Godfather of Soul” James Brown (1933–2006) was scheduled to perform a concert at the Boston Garden in Massachusetts.

Despite overall lousy weather, it was very obvious that nothing could keep the ladies away from the Today show plaza this morning to get a look at boy-band icons New Kids on the Block.

If you recall, back on January 12th, intrepid commuters in Boston took to the subways and dropped their pants, all for the sake of the city’s first ever No Pants! Subway Ride. The historic stunt had been out of the news for a while, but it resurfaced this past Sunday when Boston Globe writer […]
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that local band Dropkick Murphys would be appearing on the January 11th episode of David Letterman’s CBS late-night talk show.
Well, that appearance has come and gone, but thanks to the kindness and video skills of some YouTube-using fans, people can still enjoy their performance.
Band members actually played two […]
Non-Bostonians and Bostonians alike will get a chance to sample yet another local band in action this week when Quincy’s Dropkick Murphys pay late-night host David Letterman a visit on Friday in support of their latest full-length album The Meanest of Times.
