Review of Alice Cooper’s 7^th Annual Christmas Pudding Concert
a fund raiser for the Rock Teen Center
by LeeAnn Sharpe
 It’s almost 1am and I just got home from the 7^th Annual Christmas Pudding Concert by Alice Cooper. What a show! Alice calls all of his friends and they turn out for what has to be one of the best rock shows in Phoenix this year! Starting at 7:30pm it was over 4 hours of incredible jams. My hands are sore from clapping so much!

 The finale with Alice Cooper & Band had the place hopping, but then when he brought out all of the performers to sing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, the crowd went wild. Story Continues

Review of Andre Bocelli Glendale Jobbing.com Arena Dec 14, 2007
by LeeAnn Sharpe
Glendale’s Jobbing.com Arena was the venue for Andre Bocelli December 14^th, 2007.

 What a voice. He filled the arena with such a bold and emotional tenor that it didn’t matter if it was in Italian, and the majority of the audience were unfamiliar with most of the arias from operas he performed. The passion came through with such force as to bring tears to your eyes anyway. Story Continues

Review of Ballet Arizona The Nutcracker

Alice Cooper

by LeeAnn Sharpe

 Alice Cooper’s classic image is one of horror and outrageous antics, the macabre perversion beyond anyone else. In fact, next to Halloween masks of Frankenstein, you can find the Alice Cooper mask resplendent with the trademark black eyeliner and wild black hair. None of it would have built a rock and roll dynasty lasting 40 years if there wasn’t a solid base of really good music. Alice Cooper’s music stands the test of time as rock classics as viable to today’s audiences as they were in 1969 when he started out.

 At his recent Arizona State Fair Halloween concert a mother and daughter came out to enjoy the night together. “Alice Cooper was the first concert I went to when I was a teenager and now I’m taking my 15-year old daughter to her first concert to see him too,” says Betty excitedly. The crowd was heavily populated with older Alice Cooper fans, many with families in tow.

 Alice Cooper’s portfolio of work is pretty remarkable with some 45 albums. The “Poison” video on YouTube has been viewed 836,992 times!  “School’s Out” is still an anthem for every kid in the world on the last day of school. “Only Women Bleed”, “Welcome to my Nightmare”, “Love’s a Loaded Gun”, and “Eighteen,” are favorites the audience mentioned. 

 On stage Alice Cooper is more than just a rock singer. He becomes a total performer using stage props and characters telling a story through the music. His long legs and lean form carry him in costumes as varied as a white tuxedo or a black lycra jumpsuit cut to expose his front down to the nether lands. His most frequent costume in the past has been a red devil jumpsuit. This night he dons black pants decorated with a skeleton theme, trademark black top hat and a walking stick which he throws to the crowds several times to hysterical cheers.   

The emotion and torment he performs are themes the audience can relate to and contribute to the cult like following his fans maintain through decades. His voice can be pretty and melodic when necessary, but more often it is jagged and cutting punctuated with screams and howls.

 So how does this rocker take his show mainstream? Alice is in commercials for the Arizona Department of Transportation reminding Arizonans to renew their vehicle registration.  More humorous was his Staples commercial where he’s buying school supplies for a petulant little girl who says, “I thought you said school’s out forever.” He responds, “No, the song says School’s out for summer”. Or there’s the Marriott commercial where he tells a guy mowing his lawn to take a vacation with his family so they won’t grow up to be weirdos. Hilarious! Calloway has a commercial where Cooper is a machinist. Of course golf is one of Cooper’s favorite pastimes.  

You’ve become an American icon when you appear on the Muppets singing “Schools Out” with the Muppet characters in his trademark red devil jump suit.

 A frequent participant in charity golf tournaments, Alice has lent his name to a number of charity projects. The biggest commitment is The Rock, a Christian youth center at the Grand Canyon University campus in west Phoenix. Chuck Savale, Executive Director of the Solid Rock Foundation says, “To date he has helped raise $2.5million.” They are working towards a goal of $7.25M. The 29,450-square- foot center would include sports facilities, a concert hall, recording studios and sound room, coffeehouse, computer lab, a rock-climbing wall, game room, dancing space, skateboard area and other amenities. They believe it can be the model for teen centers across the U.S.

 He’s often said Alice is a character he plays as far removed from himself as he can get. That separation has allowed him to maintain a stable personal life. Married faithfully for 30 years and raising three kids his life seems pretty grounded. A tour takes him to the UK, Russia, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden in the coming weeks. But he will be home in time for the December 15th Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding, a night of comedy and music to raise money for The Rock Teen Center.  

Alice Cooper has taken a path he started at 16-years old, followed the curves and turns, climbed the hills and grown in the process. He allowed his music and audiences to mature right along with him as he approaches 60. His humor and outrageousness along with compassion and brains have kept his fans and built a new younger base who pull out mom and dads vinyl and say, “Can I get this on MP3?”

Youngtown and Sedona Residents Win Health & Wealth Raffle Early Bird Prizes
Worth More Than $85,000 Each  (FOR ALL WINNERS SEE Link)
 Do you know where Youngtown Arizona is? The folks at the Health & Wealth Raffle do now, because the winner of the Early Bird Prize Package number one lives there. For everyone that answered the question no, Youngtown is located on the Agua Fria River in the West Valley, South of Grand Ave., and just West of Sun City. Nearby attractions include the Bradshaw Mountains, Lake Pleasant Regional Park and the University of Phoenix Stadium which puts Youngtown within the heartbeat of the Super Bowl.

 In 1954, real estate broker Ben Schleifer and banker Clarence Suggs, formed Youngtown Land and Investment Co, and purchased 320 acres of cotton farmland. Together they built the first master planned adult community exclusively for retirees Youngtown, Arizona (not Youngstown which is in Ohio). In 1960, Youngtown was incorporated and became the first city occupied exclusively by senior citizens. Another first for Youngtown was the formation of AARP Chapter one in 1960. Today the town has grown but still enjoys the tranquil, small town feel while providing residents with five parks, its own police force, a library, clubhouse, a lake, beautiful sunsets and wildlife. Less than ten years ago the age restriction was lifted, allowing all ages to reside in Youngtown, now it is a vibrant mix of young singles, families and retirees that don't like the HOAs of the Sun Cities

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, WAL-MART
WELCOMES SANTA CLAUS IN STORES COAST-TO-COAST
Hundreds of thousands of free photos* with Santa and new Christmas memories!
 Wal-Mart today announced that Santa Claus will make a series of appearances at more than 3,000 Wal-Mart Supercenters and discount stores across the country beginning November 24. During his visits to Wal-Mart, the retailer estimates that Santa will personally visit with more than 1.6 million children over the next three weekends in its stores.
Additionally, children posing with Santa will receive a free 5" x 7" holiday photo keepsake, taken by a Wal-Mart associate and developed onsite.  
"We're committed to saving people money so they can have a merrier Christmas with their friends and family," said Lori Kumar, Wal-Mart¹s divisional merchandise manager for photo processing.  "Offering free photos with Santa is one more way parents can save at Wal-Mart this Christmas.  And with most mall kiosk Santa photos costing $10 or more, we¹re expecting to save American families at least $5 million over the next three weekends on these photo keepsakes."
Santa Claus will make an appearance at all Wal-Mart Supercenters and stores on Nov. 24 and 25 and Dec. 1, 2, 8 and 9, visiting with children between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Customers can also purchase additional prints of the photo at the store's digital photo center or order a variety of specialty products that feature the image, including posters, ornaments, Christmas cards, and over 100 different gift items.
Making time to appear at Wal-Mart in the run-up to Christmas is no problem compared to the workload he faces on Christmas Eve.  
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west.
According to scientific data posted on the internet, Santa will visit 91.8 million homes, which works out to 822.6 visits per second, or 1/1,000th of a second for each household. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth,
his total trip will be 75.5 million miles, which means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second ­ 3,000 times the speed of sound!
Carrying out this task (and appearing in Wal-Mart) shows why Santa is magic. * While supplies last

Taxing American Jobs & Retirements; A Bad Move For Congress
By Arizona State Treasurer Dean Martin

 Every week it seems Congress is considering a new tax increase. Whether it’s a tax increase on income, investments, or gasoline, the new Congress is behaving much like the tax and spend Congress of old.

 Now Congress wants to raise taxes over 130% on private equity and other types of investment partnerships – enterprises that collectively are responsible for driving a significant amount of growth in the American economy and have become a part of middle class America’s retirement. As usual this massive tax increase is camouflaged as “closing a tax loophole,” but nothing could be further from the truth. Story Continues

Bluegrass Hits Hard with Cherryholmes at Webb Center

 Few bluegrass groups have seen the meteoric rise of Cherryholmes. After their first major label album in 2005, Cherryholmes was named Entertainers of the Year by the International Bluegrass Association. Their latest album Cherryholmes II: Black and White debuted as #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass charts. On Saturday, November 10th, Cherryholmes will bring their upbeat style to a 7:30pm concert at Wickenburg’s Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts.

 This six-member family band has enjoyed nationwide success since forming in 1999, touring to sold-out venues and releasing five wildly popular albums. Jere Cherryholmes, the band’s founder and patriarch, has no trouble summing up his philosophy on their authentic bluegrass style: “People say that bluegrass music has to change or evolve or it will die... I don't really think it needs to be changed. It just needs new life breathed into it. I feel like maybe I'm offering that with my family.”  Story Continues

Darknight Productions Draws AriZoni Winning Actors
Two new venues for dinner theater company in East and West Valley
 Now beginning its fourth year of providing comedies and interactive mysteries, Darknight Productions is doubling their venues and adding new actors to their troupe.  This year 14 of Darknight Productions actors were nominated for AriZoni Awards in their performances at other theaters.  Local playwright Alexx Stuart and his director/actor wife, Diedre Kaye own and operate the Scottsdale based theater company.  “We started with one show and marketed it to private clubs and corporations,” says Kaye.  “Each year we added new shows and last year we brought them to the public one night a week on the west side of town.   The shows were received so well that we’re adding a venue on the East side of town this year.” 

 Stuart grabs the audiences with his quick wit and knowledge of sports to write his popular sports parodies for their interactive mystery dinner theatre shows.  First came the baseball parody, Murder at Savings & Loan Ballpark(S.Lo.B.)with zany characters like the owner of the Arizona Piggybacks, Col. Angelo and the star pitcher The Big Eunuch.  Next he wrote The Woes of Kilimanjaro…Country Club which tells the tale of the golf match of the century at the world’s most dangerous golf course in the jungles of Africa.  Club Pro Patty Cyberg faces Dingo Irons, the world’s greatest golfer for a purse of $1 million dollars.  This year in honor of the Super Bowl being played in the valley, he’s added a new musical sports parody, Football, the Musical.  “I’m having the most fun with this show.  We have a great cast with wonderful comedic timing.  It’s a real joy for a playwright to have his jokes delivered by a talented cast” says Stuart.Story Continues

Late Nite Catechism By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times, Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive comedy.

Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible. Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are guilty."
