Lyle Lovett Excites Profligate Heedlessness in God-Fearing Crowd
“That was the first time a Lutheran has made an exclamatory remark,” Lyle Lovett drily observed at the Beacon Theatre last night, after a woman in the audience loosed a howl of approval during his recounting of growing up in that church. As he weathered on about his childhood Sunday rituals, another shout filled the air. “You must have converted to the Baptist Church!” he replied. Such was the spirit, and Lovett's easy charm, during this gospel-heavy two-and-a-half-hour set, which was supported by a ten-person choir known as Junior Fountain and God’s Generation. Inspirational opener “Church” had the bowlegged Lovett standing, clapping, and raising his hands to the ceiling; later, he entered darker blues territory with “Rise Up/Ain’t No More Cane,” climbing registers over the course of seven minutes. But Lovett didn’t forget about the agnostics in the audience: He ditched the soul-mongering midway through the evening, easing into laid-back country fare with oldies like “Cute As a Bug” and “That’s Right (You’re Not From Texas).” Lovett’s even delivery and twinkle-eyed sense of irony made the transition a remarkably smooth one. It was, however, Sunday, so the preacher man in him brought it all home in the final encore with a clap-along, shout-out-loud “I’m a Solider in the Army of the Lord” that doubtlessly pleased Lutherans and unrestrained Baptists alike. —Michael D. Ayers

Kanye West responds to anger management rumours
In a posting he made yesterday (July 7), just after denying that he has a painting of his likeness as an angel displayed in his house, the rapper denied that he has anger management issues.
"Do yall remember when people said my fiance was pregnant???? What happened to that rumor????? I guess after we broke up it was just forgot about???? I'm just using that as an example of how people make up stuff and everybody runs with it. I had my own family asking me about that," West wrote.
"Now the media is saying I'm going to anger management something or 'nother. I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!! lol! I get off the plane in Hawaii today and the world is saying my management team said blah blah blah... SIIIIIIGGGHHHH! I told the media you can't make up lies about me because I have a media outlet myself. Oh and sidebar I don't know if everyone has realized this yet but I don't do interviews if there's anything I wanna say I'll say right here on my own blog."
Meanwhile, West is gearing up to perform at the Global Gathering at Stratford Upon Avon on July 25 and will play several US dates in August.

Oasis - Gallagher Clears Up Jay-z Glastonbury Comments
LATEST: OASIS rocker NOEL GALLAGHER has cleared up the furore surrounding his controversial comments about JAY-Z's headlining show at the U.K.'s Glastonbury festival, insisting he actually "likes" the rapper.
Gallagher hit the headlines earlier this year (08) when he blasted the music event's organisers for booking a hip-hop act for the traditionally rock n' roll festival.
He stated, "I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong. Jay-Z's got no chance."
But the 99 Problems hitmaker wowed the crowds at Glastonbury on Saturday (28Jun08) night - and even mocked Gallagher by opening his set with his own version of Oasis' 1995 hit Wonderwall.
And now Gallagher has attempted to play down his war of words with the rapper - blaming the media for stirring controversy by asking such questions.
He says, "For the record, I Iike Jay-Z. That's my opinion. If it offends people, don't ask me any more questions. I should do these things and answer like every two-bit pop star."
