On the Beat

On the Beat: David Menconi on music

News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.

Larry the Cable Guy will NOT juice you up

Try to control the shock and disappointment this will no doubt bring on, but comedian Larry the Cable Guy's May 16 show at Cary's Booth Amphitheatre has been canceled. Refunds are available at point of purchase; phone and online orders will be automatically credited.

No reason was given for the cancelation, but Cary isn't the only LtCG date to get scotched without explanation. A Thursday performance in Great Falls, Mont., has also been called off.

so what

With this swine flu going around,I think I would cancel too.

cable service

That explains why my Time Warner cable TV has not been hooked up yet, and now probably will never be hooked up.

man, rednecks are so touchy.

man, rednecks are so touchy.

Why the sarcasm?

Acts cancel shows all the time. Maybe there were not enough ticket sales to bother. The man is a business. Similar to the compairson that when the News & Observer loses enough circulation, employees like Menconi will be given their pink slips.

Unfortunately, no

Sadly, it's not the simpletons like Menconi, J.P. Giglio and "Uncle Crizzle" that get the pink slips. It's real writers/reporters like Zane, Carr and Roger van de Horst. I guess the N&O pays people what they're worth, so it's smarter to keep the worthless ones!
