Usually, theres a guitar strap on that shoulder, not a chip.
But the cheerful Brad Paisley country musics least resentful ambassador allowed himself a moment of frustration. Paisley told the crowd jammed into PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel for the opening night of the amphitheatres 2013 season that as country artists, he and his band are often treated as second-class citizens.
Wheres the hay sticking out of your mouth? he said, mimicking his detractors. He then launched straight into Ill-Show-You mode, leading his group of lightning riders through an instrumental that concluded with a Dixified re-creation of Eddie Van Halens solo from Hot for Teacher.
If Paisley, whose skills are as respected in Music City as that of any six-string slinger sporting a cowboy hat, seemed defensive, hes got reason to be.

Halley Feiffer, “daughter of Pulitzer Prize-winning satirist Jules Feiffer,” had a brief spurt of fame with a part in “The Squid and Whale” in 2005. Later, she lured her brother into an ill-defined movie project with her. The director was to be her brother’s boyfriend Michael Urie, a k a “that gay guy from ‘Ugly Betty.’ ”
That — with the possible exception of the first sentence — is not the true story of Halley Feiffer’s life. It’s a reasonably concise summary of about one-fifth of the plot of Halley Feiffer’s indie comedy, in which the actors play exaggerated versions of themselves. While the movie is (really) directed by Urie, Feiffer doesn’t actually have a brother — that part is played by her co-screenwriter Ryan Spahn.

If you’re holding a ticket for Bon Jovi‘s announced July 24 date at MetLife Stadium, clear your weekend. The show has been moved to Saturday, July 27. In a press release, the band blamed the switch on scheduling considerations. The band’s second show at the stadium remains set for July 25. Tickets sold for the 24th will be honored on the the 27th.
No matter how it’s framed, a scheduling shuffle is always an inconvenience for fans. Perhaps to compensate, Bon Jovi released some legitimately good news along with the bad: the J. Geils Band will open both concerts, giving fans a reason to show up early. The Massachusetts combo, which stars charismatic vocalist Peter Wolf, inventive organist Seth Justman, and flashy harmonica player Magic Dick, has long been one of America’s best answers to the Rolling Stones.
