THE ARBITER NOV B 2009

~ It's not unusual that Jay-Z and A. Kelly didn't go the distance

BY DRUID HINCKLEY New York Deily News

Exactly why, you might wonder, would promoters book a tour co-headlining Iay-Z and R. Kelly,who haven't exactly been close pals and who are both used to headlining themselves? Ifyou guessed "money," you're on the right track. Ifyou suspect there may be more to it than that, you're probably overthinklng. Promoters booked them for the same reason they booked Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel - not a thug-inspired rap act - or Oasis, or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or the Everly Brothers. If the music is memorable, what else matters? If anything, a little tension can be an un- spoken selling point. Itincreases the chance that this is the last chance to see these artists together, and maybe a few fans will buy tickets to see if "something" happens. Like Oct. 29 at Madison Square Garden with Iay-Z and Kelly,when "something" was Kelly walking off stage - celebs including Usher and Mary J. Blige filled the evening - and the tour crashing. But Iay-Z and R. Kellyaren't the first artists to decide they should tour together when they might not even be speaking. It got to the point for Phil and Don Everly that their on- stage breakup at Knott's Berry Farm in 1973 kept the brothers apart for 10 years. Oasis was 15 minutes from boarding the plane for an American tour in 1996 when front man Liam Gallagher said he wasn't going. The others flew over anyhow, limped through a few shows and canceled the rest. After their triumphant 1981' concert in Central Park, Simon and Garfunkel went out on tour and planned an album. The tour became so burdensome for Paul that he erased Art's vocals and turned his new songs into a solo album. . When Simon and Garfunkel went out last year, with Simon not visibly much happier on stage, he explained that he felt they owed it to the fans, who really wanted to hear the old songs one final time. The money was also good. . The classic story about stagemates, which after all these years may be partly apocry- '. phal, involved Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry. They both wanted to close a show, the story goes, so they flipped a coin and when Lewis lost, he finished his set by lighting his piano on fire. As he walked off stage, he is said to have remarked, "Let any sumbitch follow that." (The ,Book)' entertaining, not insightful

Neo-elghties garage rock bands are a dime a dozen these days, especially in the once Mecca-like Los Angeles. Most ofthe time it's difficult to tell whether a band is being more satirical than sincere with their song themes and even the way they dress. Sometimes they seem too serious about themselves for anyone else to take them seriously. Such is the fate of many new bands these days. The Sharp Ease seem, at first, to fall right into this category. They're the first band on a brand new indie label out of L.A.,their sound is a new twist on the Stooges mixed with the Cars, and they sing a lot about how, unlike them, people tend to be superficial. That's a good recipe for being shrugged off as trend followers. What sets this band apart is their sheer ability to rock. It's purely and simply an amount of energy and talent that you cannot ignore.

And, as has often been the case this season, it was Reggie , Bush who provided the spark the Trojans needed.
