Just some Vegas advice. We stayed at New York, New York back in April, and the rooms are very nice. Plus, the hotel is right next to the MGM Grand. I honestly don't think the MGM warrants a rate nearly $400 higher than NYNY. Yes, the MGM has better restaurants, etc. but you only have to cross the street to access them from NYNY.

The picture with the meerkats is so funny, I fell over laughing. Adam's performance at Aftee was fabulous!!! Especially loved "Let's Dance". That man can certainly body dance...WOW. Nile Rodgers is such a class act; so happy he has taken such an interest in Adam.  |

By the way just to keep things straight in the endless quagmire of record labels etc Island Records is currently a label within UMG. It was originally founded by Chris Blackwell and has nurtured such notables as Bob Marley, Grace Jones and U2. Was sold to Polygram in the early 90's and has since gone through many mergers and is now part of UMG just as Interscope is. Unfortunately I don't think Blackwell himself is involved any longer.
Interesting little story from U2's history is that U2's second album had actually not really done as well as their first and the number crunchers were recommending that Island drop U2. They presented all their arguments to Blackwell and he sent back a one word note. "NO" To make a long story short 3 albums later U2 basically bailed out Island Records financially by accepting stock in lieu of the $5,000,000 + in royalties that were owed off the Joshua Tree album.

I was thinking today about the comments that were made about the Avicii crowd. I thought back when I was of that age and remember being pissed when the performing artist verved from the recorded song. Songs that I had memorized every word and nuance. I can remember exclaiming excitedly that "they sounded just like their record". Well, it occurred to me that when you go and listen to someone "spin" you hear exactly what you are used to hearing but at a very loud volume -- louder then you could ever turn up your headphones or your speakers at home. So, this gives the audience the chance to listen to great beats, really loud plus in a party atmosphere while (perhaps) loaded. I don't think it has anything to do with not having an appreciation for a performing artist. It's just a different way to enjoy a concert. JMO.
I do have an issue with the rude and disrespectful ones but there's that in every crowd.
