Decent music schedule for the rest for the rest of the week. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Benefit should be good!

P.S. I'm trying to spread the word about a survey for next year's Downtown Live lineup. I'd really like to see something new out there, so please voice your opinion: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=DdqsqD2mDmPEd6tN1yKgIA_3d_3d

Heads Up, stay perky, it's time to lift and seperate the pretenders from the real, the Divas from the Dont'as:

DOLLY PARTIN has been preliminarily scheduled for the Hockey Arena, (aka: RBC Center), for WED. NOV. 5th, 2008.

And she looks just as Big from the front row all the way to the upper nose bleed sections, just imagine the close up of DOLLY on the overhead diamond vision screen. Forget the baby formula, this is the mothers milk of Rocking Country.
