Warped Tour: Still trucking after 14 years Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 MDT
When Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman added pop singer Katy Perry to his traveling festival this year, he had no idea she would have the nation's No. 1 song by late June.

Go do it: Warped Tour Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 MDT
Has it really been 14 years? Frighteningly enough, the Warped Tour is now the same age as many of its fans. The tour has evolved over the years, but the overall premise remains the same: Pack a gazillion punk bands, kids, skateboard ramps, marketing strategies and merchandise booths into a parking lot or amphitheater ... and go! The musical lineup has become increasingly diverse - is that really Katy "I Kissed a Girl" Perry on the Warped Tour this year? - so it's definitely an event with wide appeal. You see it in the crowd, which is mostly made up of young MySpacers but almost always also features a few tattooed dads.

Go do it: Country singer Randy Travis Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 MDT
It's tough to claim you don't recognize the voice of Randy Travis. It's distinctive. And with 22 No. 1 songs under his belt, he's infiltrated American culture in a way that few country singers do. Travis, 49, is touring in support of his first country CD in nearly a decade, "Around the Bend." It's not great, not bad, sort of a middle-of-the-road release for a middle-aged guy who still has plenty of vocal tricks up his sleeve. Album sales are sort of an afterthought, anyway. Travis has already racked up 21 million in his career to go along with six Grammys.

One of the highlights last year at the Braun Reunion was Keen singing to a raucous crowd, "The road goes on forever and the party never ends."

'Macbeth' is bold, engaging Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 MDT
Shakespeare's Scottish tragedy is in rare form in the Idaho Shakespeare Festival's Asian-inspired production. It is bold, visually striking and engaging. Red silk flows as a metaphor for blood.
