Two Redheads...
Two nights. Two redheads.Saw Kathy Griffin in concert at the Performing Arts Center. It was a sell out crowd.
I like that.
Other talented people will book into a city that supports the arts.
The night before, up in Myrtle Beach at the House of Blues, I stood in line for a long time to get inside for Bonnie Raitt. Also a packed "house."
Two entirely different performances for two entirely different audiences.
Miss Raitt truly seemed to enjoy the standing audience and the, well, standing ovations it gave her fine singing. A sign was posted "No cameras. No cell phones taking pictures."
First time I've seen cells banned.
And security was very active, appearing almost as quickly as the phones - and a few cameras - were raised.
Just the opposite at the PAC...Kathy came out posing and encouraging her fans to snap pictures.
I even used flash. Yikes.
Her humor was scathing and topical. She started with comments on "The Balloon Boy" as THAT story was still unfolding.
Well, maybe not for Wolf Blitzer.

I am a fan of Bonnie Raitt's Blues....
I've found that it's usually the House of Blues that makes the rules about no photos... not the artists. There are several bands I have photographed that I know positively do not mind, yet I was not allowed to shoot them at HOB... they are almost militant about it! I REALLY have to love a band to see a show there anymore!
I LOVED it when Kathy Griffin encouraged the audience to take photos!! I wish everyone were like her!
