The beach bars reopen Memorial Day weekend with, of course, Revel’s HQ Beach Bar and Margaritaville’s LandShark Bar & Grill taking center stage as the latest additions east of the Boardwalk.
To be certain, the international vocal group Il Divo was hardly the music world’s first “manufactured” ensemble. The movie studio Screen Gems created The Monkees in 1965. Of more recent vintage, now-imprisoned music producer Lou Pearlman organized the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync in the mid-1990s.
“The four of us have never had a problem coming up with new ideas. We’re never sitting at ground zero when it comes to creativity. It all flowed.”
New ownership plans an ambitious, but brief bill of fare, characterized as “distinctly American. A place where a lot of different things happen.”
"I never set out to emulate Jerry Garcia. I set out, in the 1990s, to learn about music and how it was constructed, and I was playing in bands that played original music."
Even if Silverman does cross the line in an offensive way, she refuses to apologize. That was never more apparent more than a decade ago, when she came under fire for using a slang term for Asians on a late-night television show.
"A casino is just like a little slice of heaven to me. I hope heaven is a casino and I hope I have unlimited hours at the dollar video poker machine."
"The world has changed, but the art of stand-up is exactly the same. It’s so low tech. There’s nothing you can do that’s technological. You can’t speed it up, you can’t accelerate the process."
"I refuse to go to Wikipedia because I think that their information is all wrong. A friend went on there and the first three things about me were wrong. They got my age wrong, they got my birthday wrong, they got my marital status wrong."
“We must commit to continuing to create memories for future generations. I want this to be a smart, quick recovery, but a heartfelt one as well. I hope this is your mission too.”

"Calling ourselves beautiful is the best thing we can do for ourselves. There is something very empowering about seeing yourself as beautiful, to say that no matter what society dictates as beautiful or what we should strive for, I know I am beautiful and no one can take that from me."
"I recall experiencing the Smiths during its Queen Is Dead tour in 1985 at the Tower Theater and there were plenty of empty seats. Morrissey, performing with a faux hearing aid, was thrilled collecting endless gladiolas. He was a young, brilliant, original frontman. "
“It’s a perfect storm, so to speak, with reference to what’s available to the fans and also the players.”

In a perfect world, if the casinos had their way, the year would always end on a Friday or Saturday. It would never end on a Monday, as it does this year.
“What we’re seeing right now [in A.C.] is Revel and Borgata going head-to-head with these big-name house DJs. They have become celebrities who get anywhere from $20,000 upwards of $200,000 per night for a couple of hours, and most of the time they’ll sell out these arenas or nightclubs. ... They’re the new celebrities.”
“It’s a shame, really, because progressive rock ... has been a really integral part of [American music], and I don’t understand why they miss that in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
"While it is 75 percent Christmas songs, it has an Elvis Presley tribute and it has some Bobby Darin stuff in it and a tribute to Dean Martin. I also do a tribute for the survivors of Hurricane Sandy and a tribute to our veterans."
Joe Perry: “I would have been fine doing the project [without Tyler]. It would have been quite exciting, but we never got that far and we’re still Aerosmith, which is where I would rather be.”
When Lisa Marie Presley began writing music again after a seven-year layoff, she wasn’t sure where it would lead. ...

The changing of the season always brings with it a sense of new beginnings and with the end of summer in particular, a sense of loss. Yes, technically summer continues through Sept. 21, but when you grow up on an island resort, as I have, summer is over when the lifeguards depart the beaches after Labor Day Weekend and the surfers take over the ocean.
One of the longest-running productions in the international cache of shows known as Cirque du Soleil — character-driven shows blending circus styles from around the world into a central theme or storyline — is making its first-ever appearance in Atlantic City through Sept. 2.
Atlantic City is staring down the barrel of Labor Day weekend after experiencing the single most diverse array of live entertainment ever presented here during one summer.

After more than 30 years, Duran Duran is having one of the best years of its career. Nick Rhodes talks about the group's next studio album and more.

“With a lot of positive emotion in my heart, I read online in A.C. Weekly, my home some years ago when it was known as The Whoot, that my old friend, Carmen Marotta is keeping the historic name of Tony Marts alive and well, I had my first legal drink there many years ago, in 1971 when I turned 21. I had the distinct pleasure of being personal friends with the entire Marotta family and I will always have a very deep love for all of the Marotta family but thank God a man named Tony Marotta made Somers Point his home and brought all of we South Jersey natives the best damn rock night club there ever was in the history of South Jersey. My family willl always love Tony, his wife and the entire family...I now live in Central Florida and I will never forget my experiences with my late wife, Cookie at the Marotta homestead and at the club right across the street. Thank you so very much. Bob Everland”

“Take some local talent to open for a few of the talents featured--been watching "Friday's Nightmare" out of Staten Island......and would love to see them on the big stage, and their music is user friendly, I think it is called Indi-Rock.”
