Go do it: Cat scratchin' with Ted Nugent Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:00:00 MDT
It's always a good idea to take a pair of earplugs to a Ted Nugent concert. Not because it's too loud. You take the plugs out while the Nuge is cranking classic rock masterpieces such as "Cat Scratch Fever," "Dog Eat Dog" and "Stranglehold." You stuff them back in your ears between songs, hoping it's enough to prevent the Motor City motormouth's ridiculous diatribes from reaching your brain. Actually, the best approach is to take a sense of humor. It's hard to resist Nugent when he turns on the charm, even if the man is guaranteed to make a few jaw-dropping utterances in concert.

Go do it: Matisyahu keeps it real Hasidic Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:00:00 MDT
It's a bit difficult to comprehend Matisyahu without diving into one of his albums or seeing a concert.

He also adds elements of modern rap and beatboxing, and sometimes draws comparisons to Sublime. The originality has paid off. Fans of all ages and backgrounds are drawn to Matisyahu's positive musical creation. His big break came in 2005, when he joined Trey Anastasio of Phish on stage at Bonnaroo. The next year, Matisyahu's 2006 major-label debut, "Youth," went gold.
