Column: Tops of the pop: Retiring critic remembers the best from 37 years of pop-culture watching
From Tina Turner at the Sports Arena to Adam Lambert in our living rooms, critic Karla Peterson looks back on three decades of her greatest entertainment hitsMy first-ever byline in the San Diego Union was on a 1985 review of Aretha Franklin’s “Who’s Zoomin’ Who” album, which included the Top 10 smash “Freeway of Love.” My last byline will be on this very story, as I trade 37 fast-lane years in journalism for the great wide open of retirement.
But before I hit the highway, please join me on a tour of the best moments from my decades as a music critic, TV critic and pop-culture columnist. Whether or not you were also in the Jack Murphy Stadium crowd when Metallica’s stage banner caught fire, or on the edge of your couch as Adam Lambert blazed his way through “American Idol,” I hope my little road trip brings back some good times of your own. Just because they’re in our rearview mirror doesn’t mean they’re gone.
Thanks to all of you who have shared your pop-culture thoughts with me over the years. We didn’t always end up at the same place opinion-wise, but I would not trade the journey for anything. Beep, beep!
BEST GROUP PROJECT
He insisted he was “one of the weird kids” at Mt. Carmel High School, but in 2009, singer Adam Lambert was the toast of San Diego and perhaps the pop-culture stratosphere. That was the year Lambert brought his considerable style and stupendous lung power to “American Idol,” where his run for the crown became the most thrilling show in town.
By the time he finished second to Kris Allen, Lambert had performed before a super-pumped student audience at his alma mater, been celebrated civically during “Adam Lambert Day,” and appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly under the headline, “The Most Exciting ‘American Idol’ Contestant in Years,” and the subhead, “And Not Just Because He Might Be Gay.” The empathetic theater kid from North County didn’t win “American Idol,” but devoted San Diegans would never see him as anything but a champ. Covering his adventure was an ink-stained joy.
