punk queens The Runaways and then as leader of the none-more-rock Blackhearts. Jett cut a commanding figure in the ’80s with a tough gruff sound that rocked as hard as anyone’s. She’s best known for the hits “I Love Rock ’N Roll” and “I Hate Myself For Loving You” but her songbook runs quite a bit deeper and her most recent album 2006’s Sinner was surprisingly strong.

attachButton(element);Wed Jun 17 2009 at 06:26:14 AM PDTn July 25th my wife and I will be going to Albany New York to attend our first rock concert in 25 years. At 46 and 52 we will probably be the oldest Green Day fans in attendance but we don’t care because Green Day rocks. There is a reason classic rock is called classic rock. Just ask any 20-something Led Zeppelin fan. His or her children and grandchildren will probably be listening to Zeppelin on an iPod charged on a repurposed exercise bike because Led Zeppelin still rocks decades after their last album went Platinum. I can reasonably say the same thing for Green Day’s new album.

Ripping into “Toys” the boys hit with standout tracks “Uncle Salty” and “Adam’s Apple” before performing monster hits “Walk This Way” and “Sweet Emotion” two of the group’s best-known songs. “Toys” which also included the controversial “Big Ten Inch Record” and burners “No More No More” and “Round and Round” is considered one of the classic rock albums of all time and it was great to see the group reach into its catalogue to dust off these nuggets. After that blast from the past the group returned to its 1990s hit “Livin’ on the Edge” featuring a segment in which Perry competed with his video guitar hero image of course smashing him to pieces with some sizzling solos. Perry remarked: “Ain’t nothing like the real thing. ”And that’s what the crowd got with the blistering show closer “Draw the Line. ”The encores were a little surprising.

22 2009 – 12:00 am| Page 1A It was a bike race a festival a tourist town’s promotional dream. But most of all the Nevada City Bicycle Classic was the Lance Armstrong show from the moment he arrived in town Sunday until he crossed the line in first place arms extended overhead his muscular legs glistening in the early evening sun. He did all the right things in the bike race lapping all but five of 130 riders in the 90-minute circuit race through this picturesque historic Gold Rush-era town with a dose of New Age quirkiness. The multimillionaire seven-time Tour de France champion even won a $50 prime (pronounced preem) during the race a small incentive prize for winning a designated lap during the event. Armstrong 37 who returned to cycling after more than three years away from competition also said all the right things afterward complimenting the crowd of 20000 and leaving them laughing. “The highlight here is the crowds” Armstrong said during an interview over the public address system “from the smell of the barbecue the smell of the beer and just after Turn 2 I thought I smelled something I won’t go into here.
