Blues At The House Of Blues!

Taylor Hicks performing Born In Chicago. The irony here is that he is playing blues at the House of Blues:-) As most of you know the House of Blues has had such great blues performers as Brittney Spears, Mandy Moore, and Fergie!!!

Ain't No Blues At The House Of Blues Part 2

Last night the Cleveland House Of Blue had one of today's great blues diva Fergie! Well what did you expect from the House of Blues? I bet it was Fergielicious!

They Do Book Blues At The Ground Zero Blues Club

Unlike the House Of Blues, The Ground Zero Blues Club located in Clarksdale, and soon in Memphis books the blues. Co-owners Bill Luckett and Morgan Freeman, (yes, that Morgan Freeman) will , and do book delta blues at both clubs.

According to the Memphis Daily News:

"The main ingredient of that club and this club is we're going to play blues music," Luckett said.

The musical focus will be Delta blues, with many musicians from Clarksdale and the surrounding area making the trip to Memphis for regular gigs. Luckett estimated four or five nights of live music each week, and he'll use his Clarksdale booking agent, Roger Stolle of Cat Head Presents, to schedule the acts.

Hmmmmmmmm, what a novel idea! Book blues in a blues bar! Hmmmmmmmmmm why didn't I think of that! Hey, wait! shouldn't someone tell the House Of Blues!

Brittney Bombs At Second Apperance At The House Of Blues

Read all about Brittney Spear's latest show at the House of Blues....... ahhhh,,,,,,,,,, hmmmmmmmmm, Pop,,,,,,,,,,,, okay, House of *&^%;*&^%!!!!.



Of course, House of Blues won't change even with the bad reviews. When they charge 125$ for a 15 minute show, it will only encourage them to do more shows like that.

Well, if there ain't no blues at the house of blues, does that make the blues homeless???

Last night it was only rumor, but today it is real. Brittney actually played, if you can call it that, at the House of Blues. I just wonder what the heck is going on over there. I know that House of Blues has always booked a variety of different bands, but why keep the charade of calling yourself a blues club. Why not House of Rock, or House of Pop, or House of %&*#&%#! How about some truth in advertising:-)

Ain't No Blues At The House Of Blues

Okay, before you read this post go to my friend Dick Deluxe's Myspace page and listen to his song Ain't No Blues At The House Of Blues. Never was a song so right. I have never understood what the deal was with the house of blues, but the latest news from the wire is just crazy. Brittney Spears is supposedly planning her great comeback by playing some gigs with a band called M&Ms. At, get this, THE HOUSE OF BLUES. Oh, yeah, Brittney the great blues goddess. You know if they booked Christine Aguilera I could see that. I have heard her belt out a few blues tunes, and she even sang with Dr. John, but Britney. Give me a break! Does ol Elwood have anything to do with this place? I bet Jake is turning over in his grave about now. ACK!!!!!!!! Lets hope this is an urban legend, or a very late April Fools joke:-)
