Best Dressed at the Grammys, Plus Other Musical Fashions

February 15, 2016 by WendyB

The music industry is usually much more interesting than Hollywood in terms of fashion, but as I watched the Grammy Awards red carpet tonight, I started to fear that no one would come through for me.

There were a lot of standard-issue, red-carpet ballgowns that…

Year in Review: Concert Adventures in 2014

December 30, 2014 by WendyB

I went to a lot of concerts this year, getting off to a great start by seeing my celebrity crush Neil Young perform live on January 6. He played solo at Carnegie Hall, accompanying himself on eight or so guitars, a banjo, a horde of harmonicas, two pianos and an organ. The New York Times…

Concert Adventure, Part I: Waiting for the Monster Tour

August 19, 2014 by WendyB

In March, when Rihanna and Eminem announced the dates for their joint, three-city Monster Tour, I wasn’t sure what tickets to get.  It would be practical to get seated tickets, but in huge venues like New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, which has over 80,000 seats, even the best seats are fairly far away from the stage….
