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.
Well, here we go again. Rapper Lil Wayne has been announced as coming to the big shed in Raleigh on Aug. 8. But you'll forgive me for being a bit skeptical. Last fall, Wayne was supposed to play Raleigh's RBC Center on Halloween night -- and the show was canceled with no explanation. He wound up playing in Greensboro and Charlotte instead.
In any event, tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
David Menconi has been the News & Observer's music critic since 1991. Before that, he spent five years at the Daily Camera in Boulder, Colo.; and before that, he earned a journalism masters degree from the University of Texas (on top of an English degree from Southwestern University).
