By that, I mean I don’t hold it up there with Spidey or Indy or anything like that.

After playing at a Grafton venue for a while, the show moved to its current location, Middletown Community Building on Route 73, where it has shows every Saturday.

If “Iron Man” is any indication, this summer is going to so rule! “Iron Man” was as perfect a comic-book-turned-movie I’ve ever seen.“Iron Man” is not a heavy-hitter in the Marvel universe (saleswise, the Babe Ruths are still Spidey and the Hulk), but that doesn’t make it any less interesting. In fact, “Iron Man” has a pretty cherry premise.

Gone were the days of rockers like the ones on “High ’N Dry” and “Pyromania” or the big balladry of “Hysteria” and “Adrenalize.” In 2005, however, the band began to blip on mainstream music’s radar again with a high energy, well-produced collection of cover songs entitled “Yeah!” Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:45:00 +0000 http://www.timeswv.com/ticket/local_story_121194610.html http://www.timeswv.com/ticket/local_story_121194610.html Watch out, Marion County. It’s the British Invasion all over again ... kind of.Celebrity impersonator Tim Beasley is bringing his renditions of Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and the late John Lennon to Christopher’s Saturday.

Folks, it was worth the wait! Afterwards the first thing I thought was, “Everyone’s going to love this movie.” Sure, “everyone” might be stretching it a bit, but “almost everyone” is probably not too far off.

Over the years she has proved herself one of the most diverse women in music. From her ’80s hit cover of “The Locomotion” (which thrust her onto the international pop scene) to the phenomenal success of the “Fever” album, she has become an entertainer for the ages. “X” is her (you guessed it) 10th studio album and her first since in nearly five years.

That alone should clue you in. You’re about to see honesty from the male perspective but still poignant enough to be appreciated by the girlies. And you’re about to see a fair share of raunchiness.

The tour will hit Baltimore, Md., on Saturday; Detroit, Mich., on Saturday, May 3; and Cleveland, Ohio, on Sunday, May 4.

My point is — if you don’t make it to Mo-town, it will be out on DVD soon enough.

Tantric’s vocalist is the sole original member of the band formed from the ashes of the highly touted ’90s group, Days of the New. Amidst complications with their former label, Maverick, and the turmoil that ensued, the band has regrouped with a new lineup (which interestingly includes a violin player) and a new album in “The End Begins.”
