Super Event Weekend in the Metroplex Friday Update

• Although it is not all music related it is one hell of a weekend to be in the Fort Worth - Dallas area. And I will probably not attend any of the events below with the exception of maybe hitting downtown Fort Worth or finding some really cheap seats on StubHub.

• NCAA Final Four at the Death Star - two games on Saturday and championship game on Monday.
• The first NASCAR race of the season, The Duck Commander 500, Sunday at The Texas Motor Speedway including what I believe is the debut of The Big Hoss TV - the worlds largest HD screeen.
• The two above events are partnering together for "The Ultimate Sports Weekend".
• As part of the Final Four:The March Madness Music Festival - a free three day concert at the site of the former Reunion Arena. Featuring Jason Aldean, Eli Young Band, Tim McGraw, Pat Green, The Killers, L.L. Cool J and Bruce Springsteen and The East Street Band as your final night headliners. There are several other acts on the bill as well. It is going to madness alright - I am pretty much avoiding this at all costs.
• ESPN Game Day will be broadcasting in Sundance Square at 10 AM daily starting today through Monday.
• We have inclement weather on the slate for the weekend possibly hampering some of the outdoor events listed above. The first event that will be affected by this would be the NASCAR race....
• Duff McKagan will rejoin GNR for some South American shows - I think he may be the only one on completely amicable terms with Axl.
• If you attended a Kings of Leon concert in Seattle recently they are citing it as a possible site for measles exposure and asking ANYONE who attended to get checked as soon as possible. They are very serious.
• Man that Bavaria Radler beer commercial I posted a while back featuring the likenesses of passed music stars, including Kurt and Lennon,  is receiving some serious criticism. I thought it was a little cheesy but I took it tongue in cheek - But most of the videos have been taken down as part of a copyright claim.
• I am really confused about this whole Wu-Tang clan album - there was reported infighting on getting it completed and now they released one single copy of an album - I am not even sure if it is the same one or not?!?!? Was the report a publicity stunt? I don't know but supposedly someone is offering 5 Mil for the "one of a kind"  album.
• I took this test on the best selling albums of all time and come out under 25%. But I excluded all greatest hits/best of albums.
• SNL's music acts have pretty much sucked balls this year.
