Arts, Culture and Entertainment in Montreal
The first stop on a tour of Quebec from STYX took place August 24th in Trois Riviere at Cogeco amphitheatre. I usually do not like ampitheatre layouts for shows. I have to say this one is different and I might be bold enough to say it is he best venue I’ve been to in […]
“A composer and a writer, though he was a greater wordsmith. I’ve known a lot of people in the arts, and he was the first Renaissance man I ever met. He showed up and had an immediate impact, basically representing the entire history of black music and telling stories about the black experience.” -Bob Golden […]
Wind River is one of the best films of 2017. It is a haunting and powerful story about survival in one of the most misunderstood places in the western world. It is also a taut and effective detective story.
STYX has just released a great new 70’s classic rock sounding concept album, The Mission.

Punk won over the critics, disco won over the teens, and major progressive bands deflated like punctured blimps.” -David […]
Stephan King fans should start sharpening their knives.
Just For Laughs is most likely the best festival in Montreal, Canada or the world. While it was yet another fun filled year the world’s best comedy, there were also some just as fun live concerts to entertain and let people just dance. Kool & the Gang were the biggest act and crowd we […]

Howie had jokes about married life and getting older such as poor eyesight, finding a grey pubic hair which wasn’t his, or farting but then you crap yourself. He did some of his famous impersonations such as Gizmo. Howie himself decided to […]
