• More Woes for Poorman

  Jim "Poorman" Trenton, local "celebrity" and self-described "most fired man in show business" (see "Enter Poorman," Nov. 8, and "Exit Poorman," Jan. 3] is once again caught up in controversy after his May 16 third-annual Bikini Mile at Hollywood Park Race Track and Casino in Inglewood. The event, which featured 16 strippers jiggling down the horse track in bikinis, seemed to have offended some of the top brass at the famous horse-racing and gambling venue because of it's "lewdness," says Market

• Lamb of God: Too Dangerous for LA, Just Right for Anaheim

  Faithful Central Bible Church, the owners of The Forum in Inglewood, have (again) deemed Lamb of God not worthy of playing in their arena. They were scheduled to open up for Metallica there on Dec. 17 and 18. The good news, though, is that even though the band, whose debut album was called Burn the Priest and who recently released a DVD entitled Walk with Me in Hell, will indeed be performing Dec. 16 at the Grove of Anaheim as scheduled. Which proves that even though we might be traditionally m

• Broccoli, er, Barack Obama Remarks Are Best Served Prepared

  Prepared remarks for a town hall meeting? Isn't that why they used to unload on Bush? No, it was because ol' Dubya's questioners seemed even better briefed than he was. Observers say President Obama truly chose folks at random during his first presidential visit to Southern California and Orange County, and the first visit by a sitting president to the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa. More on that is coming from Weeklings who were actually there, but in the meantime chew on these pre

• It's a Quick Read 27

  Orange County Register: Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement agents, Inglewood police and members of a multi-agency task force surveilling Gerardo Medina Hernandez say they watched him pull packages from two compartments built into the front wheel wells of his 2005 Volkswagen sport utility vehicle and put them into a cooler in his garage in the 1700 block of West Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim. The packs contained 95 lbs. of black tar heroin worth an estimated $10 million, making this

• Green Day on tour...not coming to OC

  Green Day's going on tour to promote 21st Century Breakdown, the follow-up to the mega-successful American Idiot. For better or worse, the Bay Area trio (plus the seventeen sidemen they employ) aren't hitting Orange County. The closest the are getting is an August 20 date at the Cox Arena in San Diego and August 25 at the Forum in Inglewood. The last time I saw Green Day was the aformentioned AI tour, which hit the Long Beach Arena. Things didn't start well. I interviewed drummer Tre Cool and

• Incoming: U-N-I, Sick Puppies, Charlatans UK at the Glass House

  The Glass House in Pomona has nothing to do with the 2001 movie The Glass House, starring Leelee Sobieski. Probably a good thing, I don't remember that movie being very good. Whatever happened to her, anyway? Regardless, add three more shows to the venue's schedule, starting with Inglewood hip-hop duo U-N-I, playing the venue on Friday, July 3. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door and on sale now. They just released a free album, A Love Supreme (named after the John Coltrane classic, natc

  The 20th anniversary of rave culture's American birth is coming next year, and already it feels like the happy face era is making a comeback. In Los Angeles last month, Electric Daisy Carnival, a two-day dance fest with origins in the glow-stick underground, claimed attendance of 135,000 people. And rave veteran Destructo's new-school Hard festivals (the next one's Aug. 8 at the Forum in Inglewood) are getting bigger and bigger. Frankly, geezers are coming out of the woodworks.
