It's "Street Spirit (Fade Out)".
Re: “Concert review: Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes at Jannus Live, St. Petersburg”
Phenomenal show and the review is on the mark! Southside Johnny is an underrated showman, only by those who are not familiar with his music or live shows.
Re: “Concert review: Celtic Woman wins hearts on Valentine's Day at the Straz Center, downtown Tampa”
Dear Daryl, you are a moron who apparently didn't make it past the first line of this review. Everything its author wrote about the group and their performance is positive, and she's obviously a fan. Ashamed? Disrespectful? You're offended by the acronym of an expletive? You obviously have never read creative loafing before.
P.S. You're a moron.
RF, your review was very well written and does Celtic Woman justice. I've enjoyed your other pieces as well; keep up the great work!
Re: “Concert review: Celtic Woman wins hearts on Valentine's Day at the Straz Center, downtown Tampa”
I'm sorry you feel that way, Daryl. It was framed as a compliment and I think the article shows how much I respect them.
Re: “Concert review: Celtic Woman wins hearts on Valentine's Day at the Straz Center, downtown Tampa”
Really??? You start this article/review out with "WTF"????
Whats wrong with you!
You obviously don't know what or who these Woman represent!
This has got to be the most disrespectful thing I've seen in a long time!
You ought to be ashamed of yourself!
Disgusting!
Re: “CD review: Islands, A Sleep & A Forgetting”
Sad to this, Evan, but for once, you and I are at opposite poles. I love this record.
Re: “Concert review: Mike Doughty at Orpheum, Ybor City”
I will love Mike Doughty forever for shushing those people. I kind of wish more artists would bother to do that.

Always here to clarify! - Keith
Re: “Concert review: Morningbell at New World Brewery, Ybor City”
I knew I'd get a response from you Keith! Thanks for clarifying, I guess I figured they'd play longer/later since it was a Saturday night bill ... I do really appreciate you bringing them to town, they really put out some high quality music and glad I got to see them this time around. Can't wait to see them again.
Re: “Concert review: Morningbell at New World Brewery, Ybor City”
Great review, Leilani. Nice to see you at the show. Couple things I'd like to point out. No local/regional band should ever throw around the term "headlining". I've seen this used/abused for years by bands, etc and it does nothing but create egos/attitudes amongst a scene that should be equal/united. There are times when placement of the bands is strategic, if a band is the main draw on a bill it's common to put them last to keep people around, but even then, I would not use the word 'headline'. So, for instance King of Spain was NOT the headliner, he was just billed 3rd. Most importantly, Morningbell has never played last in Tampa at their own request. They prefer to play the shorter/middle slot, as a lot of times this is when the most walk-up traffic is in a bar/venue, regardless of billing. So, it was not a billing/promoter/venue issue. It was on the request of the band. Other than that, again, great review. Morningbell are a great and hopefully they'll be back sooner than a year.

Re: “Mat Kearney pops into the Ritz Ybor, SPC Jazz Fest takes over the Music Center + more concerts this week”
Thanks, David. The correct info is published in the paper, but I mistakenly put 'Palladium' in this headline. It's corrected now.
Re: “Mat Kearney pops into the Ritz Ybor, SPC Jazz Fest takes over the Music Center + more concerts this week”
Just to clarify, the SPC Jazz Festival is at the Music Center at St. Petersburg College located at 6605 Fifth Ave. North in St. Pete. The Palladium is not hosting the jazz festival.
Re: “Concert Etiquette 101”
One more rule, no making out, please. There was a couple at the Old97s show last night that spent the entire time groping and kissing and dry humping and making idiots out of themselves. It was very distracting and freaking gross. Have some respect for yourself.
Re: “Radiohead leaves a lasting impression in Tampa”
Thanks, correction noted!
