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.
Here's a pretty big show coming down the pike: Red-hot rapper Lil Wayne, who was musical guest on the "Saturday Night Live" season premiere two weeks ago, will play Raleigh's RBC Center on Oct. 31. Tickets go on sale Oct. 3 at Ticketmaster and the RBC box office.
If nothing else, sounds like a pretty interesting post-trick-or-treat option for your Halloween night.
ADDENDUM (12/31/08): Amazing essay.

And best yet, he is completely unintelligible,, spouting gibberish like on SNL---toa puzzled, reviled audience.
Are the tickets free? Let me have two. On to go on, one to cover it up with....
