Modern Touch At Keith Urban Concerts

I have been reading several reviews of the 2007 concert tour of Keith Urban and I must admit I am getting excited about these shows even though I have not seen one personally or probably will for a long time. Apparently, Keith Urban's promoters have devise a "cat-walk" where Urban can walk almost the entire length of an arena and wave to and even sing to many of his fans. If that added touch isn't enough, this year at Keith Urban concerts there is a huge 56x24 foot screen at each show that beams Urban and other song information to audiences of thousands of people. In my mind, I can envision a live concert like this being out of this world for Keith Urban fans.

I wrote the other day about how excited many people were in the "quad cities" by Keith Urban's concert there and now I am reading about even more excitement coming out of Wisconsin as Keith Urban preforms there. To me, there is just something special about how Keith Urban takes a normal country song and adds to it something that the song writer probably never knew existed at the time he or she pinned the tune. This is where the super showmanship of Keith Urban comes in that takes what might be just an average run of the mill song for most singers and Urban is able to turn that average song into a mega hit record.

What is behind the huge success of Keith Urban has more to do with his energy and enthusiasm than it does with his raw talent. The world is filled with great singers that can never become successful with even one hit record. Then there are the few like Keith Urban that are able to take a song and make it their own by adding energy and raw gut emotion then make that song a mega hit on both radio and in live concerts around the world. If the 2007 Keith Urban Road Show comes near Central Texas, you might just find me in the audience where I have read there are no bad seats in the house.

Paris Hilton's Neighbors Thrilled About Move

After all the late night parties and all night stake outs at Paris Hilton's home in the Hollywood Hills, by the paparazzi, Ms. Hilton announced yesterday that she is putting that home up for sale and moving out. Everyone alive has had bad neighbors before, but I have never had one that was a multi-millionaire like Paris Hilton.

While I was listening to the radio yesterday I heard a reporter asking Paris Hilton's neighbors about how they felt about her selling the home and leaving the neighborhood. Universally, they were happy to see her go and I don't blame them. Paris Hilton sounds like a neighbor from hell with all of her late night parties and paparazzi hanging around trying to take her picture at all hours of the day and night.

Most neighborhoods have zoning regulations to keep certain things from lowing property values. Most of these regulation include things like not having parked cars on the street for too long or having regulations about not having motor homes and such cluttering up the street. However, I wonder if some Hollywood neighborhoods might be thinking about upgrading there neighborhood regulations to include a no Paris Hilton zone, just like they regulate almost everything else?

It would be hard to blame them considering most people that can afford multi-million dollar homes do not consider people like Paris Hilton and the folks she hangs out with as good neighbors.
