Super Tuesdays: The Story Behind Erie's Favorite Music Series

There's a growing trend. And Erie, Michael Haas is talking to you.

Fifth Street between State and French streets shuts down Friday, June 29 for Erie Art Museum's biggest fundraiser of the year.

For your listening pleasure, Fiona Apple, The Tallest Man On Earth, Smashing Pumpkins, and Neil Young and Crazyhorse all reviewed.

What to wear when you decided to sweat out of your ear drums? I must say I do keep my drishti focus, but it does float around the room to see what everyone is wearing. As they say: you can take the girl out of fashion but never the fashion out of the girl.

It?s almost time for the show. The stage is all set for the band to come out and play, with instruments strewn across the performing platform ? enough for at least your standard four-person rock group. Soon, a single man takes to the stage and starts laying down a beat. When you start thinking that perhaps the rest of the band will file out one by one, he moves on to a new instrument as the original beat continues. That?s when you realize that this man is the band.

?When you change a child?s life, you change a family?s, which can change a community, and ultimately the world.? This is the belief of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Erie.

The Erie Art Museum Spring Show has long been the premier regional art exhibition in Northwest Pennsylvania. It is satisfying, then, to be able to give it new kudos.

As we watched Jerry Sandusky sit impassively through court proceedings while tale after tale of horror was spun before us all, actions of the man perpetrated under the very noses of his friends and family and employers, innumerable questions come to mind.

Last year, I wrote about the city?s selection of Kansas (the band, not the state) as the headliner, and in the process, I believe I coined a new term for this genre of music: Crap Rock.

Erie had its Best Summer Night, but can we do it again?
