Saturday - Classic
Albums Live at Freeman Stage, Freeman
Stage. Classic Albums Live takes
classic albums from the ’60s and ’70s and recreates those albums live on stage —
note for note, cut for cut. Using the
world’s best musicians, fans are treated to an exact replication of the album
followed by a second set of the featured artist’s greatest hits. Musicians are chosen according to their sound
and their fit into a particular niche, be it Pink Floyd, The Beatles, or The
Stones. The album might require a sitar
player, a children’s choir, a string quartet or someone to ring the alarm
clock. Whatever it takes, the musicians
treat these revered albums like a score — the way a symphony orchestra treats
Mozart. “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy
Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,” was the fifth studio album from David
Bowie and is considered one of the greatest albums of all time. It features songs, including “Starman.” $25.

A man was driving when
he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He
figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the speed limit, even
though he knew that he was not speeding...
Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same
spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite
funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic
camera again flashed. He tried a fourth
time with the same result. He did this a
fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this
time at a snail's pace...
Two weeks later he got five tickets in the mail for driving
without a seat belt.

Ben Roethlisberger
gets into a taxi and he sees the driver looking at him in the rear view
mirror. After about five minutes the
driver says “Okay, give me a clue.” Big
Ben says “I was Offensive Rookie of the year in 2004 and have won two Super
Bowls as quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is that enough?” The driver replies “No, you moron, where do
you want to go?”
