ROCK & ROLL BASEBALL

  

 Continued...

 And "The Temptations" will do 3 sold out shows at The Tropicana. "Air Supply" for one night at the Trump Marina is nice. And how about "Ace Frehley", "Edgar Winter" and "Rick Derringer" on the Jersey shore! And don't forget about "Eddie Money" at the House of Blues. "Jackson Browne" remains one of the most popular classic rockers around.His new album "Solo Acoustic Parts 1 & 2" is one of the best new albums out.The Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City is the perfect venue for Jackson Browne. And "Styx" and "REO Speedwagon" will rock The Borgata too. But the show of the year at The Borgata has got to be "Santana". Everyone that likes classic rock has got to experience a "Santana" concert. Shows by Billy Crystal, Joy Behar, Dolly Parton and George Carlin should be great.But "Eric Clapton" for two nights at The Borgata is priceless. For more information just go to www.atlanticcitynj.com.  A lot of people find it hard to believe that "Madonna" has more top ten singles than any artist in music history. But on April 12, 2008 "4 Minutes" ( Madonna's new single) became her 37th top ten hit single. So Madonna ( the Queen of Pop) has dethroned Elvis ( the King of Rock and Roll) in one of the most important categories in music. And Paul McCartney's new album ( Memory Almost Full) is now his 15th goldalbum. Several of the biggest artists and groups will be touring this summer. This willbring hope that the North American concert business will reach record breaking numbers in 2008. A big part of this is Live Nation; the world's largest concert promoter. Some of the acts that are performing are: Eric Clapton; Radiohead; America; Kansas; Rod Stewart; The Police; Jimmy Buffett; Three Dog Night; Dave Matthews Band; Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; James Taylor; Tim McGraw; Journey; Cheap Trick; Steve Miller; Chicago; Rush; Iron Maiden; The Beach Boys; R.E.M. and Yes. And don't forget the huge success of "Record Store Day".
