MATTHEW SWEET AND SUSANNA HOFFS
PAY TRIBUTE TO ROCK AND ROLL CLASSICS
By Rob Nagy
Pop recording artists Matthew Sweet and
Susanna Hoffs each came to prominence via
different paths while enjoying varied degrees of
success. Sweet, while born and raised in Lincoln,
Nebraska, relocated to Athens, Georgia in the
early 80’s and soon became a part of the burgeoning Athens music scene where artists like
the B-52’s and REM were embarking on their
now legendary careers. Sweet worked with
REM front man Michael Stipe in a band called
“The Community Trolls” while pulling double
duty with Stipe’s sister Lynda in the “Oh-OK”. By 1985 Sweet had caught the attention of
record Giant Columbia Records - landing a
solo contract and releasing the album “Inside”
to rave reviews but less than dazzling record
sales. Departing Columbia Records, Sweet
signed with A&M where, again, he
had critical acclaim but very little
response from the record buying
public. It wasn’t until 1991’s Zoo
Entertainment release of the album
“Girlfriend” that Sweet got the long
overdue radio airplay and record
sales he had longed for. The title
track “Girlfriend” reached the top
ten, spawning the heavily rotated
video on MTV. Along with success
comes an end for too many artists;
Sweet was no exception. He had
achieved the notoriety and airplay
that was most deserved, but fans having little patience - moved on to
the next new craze. Sweet released
a handful of albums throughout the
remainder of the decade and into
the millennium but was unable to
revisit his brief moment in the spotlight. In 2002 he put together the
super group “The Thorns” releasing
one album before breaking up. Along
with writing and recording Sweet
did some producing, co-writing and
work in TV and film. Sweet and
Hoffs were members of the band
“Ming Tea” along with Mike Myers in
the classic film “Austin Powers”. Susanna Hoffs enjoyed far more
media attention and notoriety as a
member of the 80’s girl group “The
Bangles”. Born and raised in Los
Angeles, CA, Hoffs was exposed
to celebrity as the daughter of film
director Tamar Simon Hoffs. Signing
with Columbia Records in 1984,
the Bangles breakthrough came
two years later with the release of
the album “Different Light”, which
yielded the smash hits “Walk Like
An Egyptian” and “Manic Monday”. As the most visible member of the
Bangles, Hoffs garnered much of
the attention. She co-wrote songs
for other artists, most notably the
Go-Go’s Belinda Carlisle, and saw
Rickenbacker unveil a Susanna Hoffs’
model guitar. With the 80’s rapidly coming to a close, the Bangles
released the album “Everything”
featuring their biggest single “Eternal
Flame”, which Hoffs co-wrote and
sang. Displaying her diverse talents,
Hoffs co-starred in the film “The
Allnighter” starring John Cusack,
which was directed by her mother.
By 1990, the Bangles disbanded
eventually reuniting nearly a decade
later, at Hoffs urging, to release the
“Doll Revolution” album in 2003.
Hoffs released a couple of solo
efforts to a moderate response, but
SEE NAGY NEXT PAGE
NAGY (cont from prev page)
like Sweet, the glory days had come and
gone. In 1993 Hoffs married film director
Jay Roach (Austin Powers and Meet The
Parents). It was during the making of “Austin
Powers” that Sweet and Hoffs established
a great friendship that continues to this
day. In 2006, billing themselves as “Sid and
Susie”, they recorded and released “Under
The Covers” Volume 1, a collection of their
interpretations of the 60’s greatest songs,
which included “Monday, Monday”, The Kids
Are Alright” and “Cinnamon Girl”. Following
the release of a long overdue solo effort,
2008’s “Sunshine Lies”, Sweet and Hoffs returned to the studio to record their current
release “Under The Covers” Volume II, offering a collection of classic songs from the
seventies, which included “You’re So Vain”,
“Hello It’s Me” and “Maggie May”.
On November 15, 2009 Sweet and Hoffs
performed a two-hour set to a surprising
capacity audience at the Sellersville Theatre
in Sellersville, PA. The concert was in two
parts with Sweet and Hoffs doing their 60’s
cover songs the first half and the 70’s portion the second half. The duo was joined by
two additional acoustic guitarists - adding
a depth and richness to the overall sound.
In between selections they told a variety of
stories relating to their respective careers.
The show itself seemed flat and a little
on the unrehearsed side. Too much time
was spent talking, and there seemed to be
confusion at times over what song to play
next. While Hoffs still has a very strong
singing voice, her microphone was clearly
put at a volume that was often overbearing
and took away from the overall show. Still, it
was fun to hear so many of the classic songs
that have stood the test of time no matter
who is performing them. Standouts included
“You’re So Vain”, “Cinnamon Girl”, “Hello
It’s Me”, “All The Young Dudes” and “Go All
The Way”. There is talk of Sweet and Hoffs
releasing an 80’s tribute but to date nothing
has been confirmed. For more info on Matthew Sweet go to www.matthewsweet.com

Finnigan’s Wake
America’s Legendary Irish Pub
By Roundhouse Ron
Finnigan’s Wake is so much more than just
another corner bar in Philadelphia. It is located
at the corner of 3rd & Spring Garden Streets, in
the heart beat of this awesome city. Finnigan’s
Wake became so popular, so fast that it is hard
to remember a time when it was not an integral
part of the City of Brotherly Love. Local Irish
bands are always playing in the Quiet Man’s Pub
(basement area), which is chock full of invaluable
antique mementoes from great movies. The 1st
floor has a great meeting room area, plus a focking
fabulous room for local rock/top 40 cover bands!!
I have spent many drunken azz nights here on
the 1st floor trying to pick up a few hot Philly &
Jersey gurlz!! Let’s work our way to the 2nd floor,
where we have the Civil War theme dedicated to
both the Irish 69th Brigade and Abraham Lincoln, and is home to the famed “Lincoln Doors.”
After the President was assassinated, his body
was transported to Philadelphia to lie in state at
Independence Hall. That night his body was kept in
a Northern Liberties funeral parlor and the doors
from that establishment has been made a part of
the second floor, the “Lincoln Level”. The 3rd floor
catering hall is named after Benjamin Franklin,
which is graced with a beautiful view of the bridge
that bears his name. Some claim that Finnigan’s is
haunted and those items, particularly keys, disappear routinely. It may be Old Abe; it may be the
late Mr. Finnigan himself?
Jimmy (night manager) always has things in total
control with a fine staff of awesome personalities!!
I have never seen such a bunch of staff members
that actually luv their jobs and it show as they all
mingle with us rowdy customers. On this visit, I
had to kick up my beverage of choice to a Jack
Daniels & Coke with a side shot of Jameson. I think
the spirit of old man Finnigan kinda got to me as
I was feeling very good after just a few cocktails.
If you are ever looking for a spot to just chill with
your friends over sum drinks and good food or
just out with your partners in crime, Finnigan’s
Wake is my pick of the year!! This focking place
ROCKS!!
I seriously have no damn idea where to start!!
Finnigan’s Wake always has something going on!!
On Monday’s come see Mike Anthony & Friend’s
Acoustic Night starts @ 9pm. Tuesday’s are College Night with Beer Pong, DJ Kitty & $2 Miller
Lites. Wednesday’s go back with the Hy Litt Show
Live Broadcast from 5pm to 10pm, then it is Karaoke with $2 Yuengling Lagers. Thursday’s are for
us sports fans as they had the Phanatic Live 97.5
Broadcast with Mike Missanelli, Larry Bowa, Jayson
Stark & Ricky Bottalico. Friday’s are open for all
the hottest local Philly bands like The Benderz,
The Loop & Loudmouth. Saturday’s go to the next
level with a wild azz party night as the bands roll
in with such talent as The Rockets, Split Decision,
Secret Service & Please, Please Me. Sunday’s again
are for us crazy azz sports phanatics with all the
NFL games along with DJ Jimmy in the evening
hours. Finnigan’s Wake has an awesome catering
service with numerous affordable wedding catering
specials and office party packages, just call and ask
for the beautiful Kathy.
The food at Finnigan’s is focking insane people!!
There are, of course, the standard Irish dishes like
a Guinness Beef Stew to die for, Shepherd’s Pie,
Fish & Chips, like your mom used to make!! And
if you like potatoes, (what self-respecting Irishman
does not?) you gotta try the sweet potato fries
with that marvelous sweet & sour dipping sauce.
There is always potato soup, wonderful salads exist
for those watching their weight. They also have
standard “pub fare” for those who want a Phillly
Cheese steak or a home-made crab cake.
Mark December 6th, 2009 (Sunday) from 2pm

Bon Jovi Dominates Live TV Appearances as NBC’s “Artists-In-Residence”
(November 18, 2009 - New York, NY)
Legendary Island Records group Bon
Jovi caps the celebration of their 25th
year on record with a second consecutive #1 debut, as their 11th studio album
THE CIRCLE--released November 10th-sails into the top spot on the Billboard
200 chart on the strength of first week
sales of 163,000 copies, according to
Nielsen SoundScan.
“Coming after their #1 selling tour
of last year, this #1 chart debut for Bon
Jovi once again proves they have a loyal
fan base that transcends every change in
popular music,” said Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid,
Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.
“After two and a half decades of uninterrupted success, Bon Jovi continues
to stay at the top of their game, with no
signs of slowing down.”
The new album’s success--which
includes #1 chart debuts in Japan,
Canada and Germany, and a #2 debut in
the UK--is fueled by the band’s current
worldwide single, “We Weren’t Born to
Follow.” Bon Jovi performed the song
live at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on
November 9th, at the gala 20th Anniversary commemoration of the fall of the
Berlin Wall in 1989. The performance
was underscored by their appearance
on the NBC Nightly News with Brian
Williams. “We Weren’t Born to Follow”
is currently sitting inside the Top 10 at
Hot AC radio formats, and the video
is in its 4th week on the VH1 Top 20
Countdown.
Bon Jovi’s appearance in Berlin capped
two weeks of international promotion
in advance of THE CIRCLE’s arrival. On
Veterans Day, Wednesday, November
11th (the day after the album’s U.S.
release), NBC Television “Artists-InResidence” Bon Jovi performed live
at the Today Show’s Rockefeller Plaza
site. Two days later on Friday the 13th,
Bon Jovi launched the opening of the
new Best Buy store on Union Square in
Manhattan.
Upcoming live television performances
include: Bravo’s Inside The Actors Studio
with James Lipton (Nov. 16); The Ellen
DeGeneres Show (Nov. 23); NBC’s The
Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (Nov.
20); a return to the Today Show (Nov.
25); Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (Dec.
9); and Saturday Night Live (Dec. 12).
“We Weren’t Born to Follow” was
written and co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi
and Richie Sambora, and was produced
by John Shanks, who worked with Bon
Jovi on their last two albums: Have A
Nice Day (2005), which featured the
Grammy-winning single “Who Says You
Can’t Go Home”; and Lost Highway
(2007), which debuted at #1 on the
Billboard charts in the U.S. and around
the world.
Bon Jovi’s 25 years on record are
chronicled in filmmaker and photo
grapher Phil Griffin’s new documentary
film Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful
(produced by Radical Media); and the
publication of its companion book, Bon
Jovi: When We Were Beautiful, the first
ever officially authorized Bon Jovi book
(HarperCollins, October 2009).
Bon Jovi has set the standard for
more than two decades as one of the
most successful rock bands in the
world. Globally, the Grammy Awardwinning band has sold more than 120
million albums, and performed more
than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans.
Bon Jovi’s “The Circle World Tour,”
promoted by AEG Live, will kick off in
Seattle on February 19, 2010. Over
the next two years, the band will visit
30 countries for 135 shows. Bon Jovi’s
last outing, the “Lost Highway World
Tour,” was 2008’s top-grossing tour according to Billboard. Tickets for “The
Circle World Tour” are on sale now for
North American concerts - information can be found at http://www.

The Best Philadelphia Band of 2009: Goodman Fiske
Among hundreds of Philadelphia and New Jersey based
cover bands, Goodman Fiske
(GMF) is one of the most
impressive groups of musicians
to set foot on stage. GMF is the
ultimate cover band, providing live musical bliss as well
as captivating stage presence.
Founded by Gene Goodman
and Ryan Fiske in 2005 GMF
has garnered major regional
attention catapulting them into
local rock and roll stardom.
GMF consists of Goodman, lead
guitarist and backup vocalist,
Fiske, lead vocalist and guitarist,
Ian Lightcap, bassist and John
Kresge, drummer.
Together the band sounds
phenomenal and the instrumentals alone are so cohesive,
they’re awe-inspiring. When
GMF played the opening rift
to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”,
at Mad River in Manayunk on
November 19, crowds of men
and women started cheering as
they rushed the stage. Individually, each member of GMF is
a musical prodigy. Front man,
Fiske possesses an insane vocal
range, going from Pink Floyd’s
“Another Brick in the Wall” to
The Killers “All These Things
That I’ve Done” with out missing a beat. His vocal prowess
combined with his interaction
with the crowd makes him a
favorite at local venues. Goodman is a kind of guitar genius,
known for shredding on his
Zakk Wylde guitar. A self taught
musician, Goodman was born
to play the guitar. At any given
show, you can find all eyes on
Goodman as he rocks guitar
solos one-handed behind his
back, criss-crossed and with
his teeth. Goodman is easily
the best local guitarist I’ve ever
seen. Lightcap is
a ball of energy,
simply owning
the bass. His
playing evokes
emotion, while
his head bobbing and bass
pumping sets
the vivacious
tone for every
song. Heads turn
when they hear
Lightcap thumping the bass like
a true rock and
roll star. Finally, Kresge on
drums, also selftaught has the
intensity, rhythm
and hitting style
comparable to
some of rocks
greatest drummers. Kresge,
ZZ Top, Black Crowes, Kings of
Leon and dozens more. GMF

Horoscopes
By Psychic Perry B.
Aries (March 21-April
19) Adventure seems to be
your middle name. Surprise is
normal so expect the unexpected. Look a little deeper
into things right now and think
decisions through carefully. Try
not to be too pushy it might get
you into trouble. You need a
change of scenery get yourself
out.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are in a whirlwind right now
and too much is coming in at
you all at once. Make sure that
you are on solid ground and
tighten up loose ends. Be sure
that a project you are working
on is on track. Do not let others distract you. Keep in mind
that you are not alone, so ask
for help if you need it.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You will be happier if you don’t
try to control things at this moment. Take care how you judge
other people, stay open minded
as much as you can. There is
potential for growth and opportunity. Stay the course and
you will achieve what you are
looking for.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your insight is very sharp and
your ability to understand what
is going on takes you in a new
direction. Friends will think you
have changed your thinking but
that is not true. You are just
approaching it from a different
point of view. Talk it over with
them and they will see it your
way.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Money seems to be the issue at
this time. Know how you want
to deal with it and it will work
out. Spend wisely and be sure
you don’t get caught up in over
indulging in that which you want
instead of the things you need.
Take someone shopping with
you that will keep you grounded.
It will aid in your buyers remorse later.
do yourself.
Stand your ground and it will
come to you. Take a hard look
at relationship and be sure it is
where you want it to be. A fresh
start is usually a good thing.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Things are changing around you
very quickly and it is if you are
spinning. Take aim at what you
are looking for and although you
are shooting at a moving target
you could hit your mark. Make
the changes work for you and
you will see a big improvement.
Someone at work needs to be
shown the way.
Sagittarius (Nov.22-Dec.
21) Keeping an eye on a situation right now will benefit you
later. Try not to let it get out of
hand. Just remember that you
cannot do it all, so seek some
help. Taking on too much will
divide you and you could lose
control. When questions come
up answer them openly.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan
19) You are stretched too thin
and too much is coming in at
you at one time. Prioritize and
only get done what you can
handle. A loved one is feeling
your strain and it could hurt
the relationship. Make time for
love and let smaller thing wait.
You will get a clearer picture of
things once you clear the clutter.
Aquarius (Jan.20-Feb 18)
Take care when dealing with
others. Try not to get overly
involved. By waiting for the dust
to settle you will have more
impact. A loved one may upset
you, but it really is not your
fault they are just lashing out at
whom ever is closest. Look for
a major change around the end
of the month.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have changed quite a bit
and are looking at things from a
different view from the past. Be
aware of what is being said and
listen carefully it will give you
better understanding of how
things really are. Now is a time
to keep your opinions to yourself and listen to others. They
are looking from the outside in.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March
20) Don’t allow yourself to get
overly involved in things at this
time. People have a habit of
pulling you in and before you
know it you are in the middle of
a major war you have nothing
to do with at all. Try to relax, as
much as you can, your batteries
need recharging. Get to a club
and dance your stress away.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tighten up the ground rule
and let people know you have
done so, even though you are
not sure of what you intend to

Firebush Rocks!
She’s Back and better than ever! At only 5’ 5” with
dazzling green eyes and red hair Suzanne says “Firebush
Rocks!”
Born in Philadelphia, singing by the age of 3, taking up
private dance as well as acting in New York City, Suzanne
has grown to become a “triple threat.” Returning to her
first love, singing, Suzanne has created a wide vocal style,
a true Rock N Roll persona, and a very professional
grasp on the business. With many past bands under her
belt such as Midnight Angel, Belladonna, The Exceptions,
Revolution Maker and Reds N West, Suzanne is working
night and day to make her newest project, Firebush, a
regular name in the Philadelphia and tri-state area.
Firebush grew out of a desire to create a unique show
with well seasoned musicians, all of whom have developed their talents through hard work and dedication to
music. The band showcases Suzanne as the powerful ball
of fire with an “in your face” attitude that will trigger
your inner rockstar. The band, Tom Dunn (drums/vocals), Jim Camilli (guitar), Rick Cavanough (bass/vocals),
and Charlie Bright (Keys/vocals), will captivate the room with their “kick ass” charisma, passion for playing
and wide variety of music.
Between Suzanne’s vocal strength, her high energy show and the professional musicianship of the band,
Firebush will suck you in and spit you out before you can say “our carpets match our drapes”.
Now this is entertainment! www.myspace.com/firebushrocks or www.firebushrocks.com For booking info contact Frank Kielb or Patti Candiotti with Frank Kielb Entertainment. Office: 610.325.4540 Cell:

A Taste of Italy at La Casa Di Lucia
by Helene
La Casa Di Lucia, located at 14425 Bustleton Avenue
in Northeast Philadelphia, in the Trent Plaza Shopping
Center, has the best Italian food around-hands down!
Not only is the food favoloso (fabulous), it’s very affordable! Where else can you get home-made authentic
pasta for $8.00 Monday -Friday from 3:00-6:00pm for
their Early Bird Specials. It includes Soup or Salad, Roll &

than $11.75!
The restaurant offers
other fantastic
specialty dishes
under the
regular dinner
menu too,
including Veal
dishes, Filet
Mignon, and
Seafood Platters. A real treat is their scrumptious Surf
and Turf (6 oz. Broiled Lobster Tail and 6 oz. Grilled Filet
Mignon) cooked to perfection!
La Casa Di Lucia is a “Mom & Pop” operated business.
The owners, Joe and Lucia are wonderful, friendly and
make you feel at home. It is evident by their success of

customers and their families with whom they first served.
Now they serve their children’s families and so on. And
word spreads fast. This place is busy just about all the
time too! They also offer lunch specials from 11:00am
-3:00pm which
includes sandwiches, pizza
and more! And
let’s not forget
the little ones, a
children’s menu
with prices ranging from $3.75 to
$6.00!
On my visit to
the restaurant,
I was greeted
warmly by both
owners in fact
they sat with my
party throughout
and made us
feel like part of
their family. We
started off with
a large appetizer,
“Lucia’s Combo”,
for just $10.95,
it included a
large portion of
Fresh Mozzarella
Cheese wrapped
in Prosciutto,
Fresh Tomatoes,
Large Black
Olives and the
best Home-made
Roasted Red
Peppers and
Grilled Hot Peppers in seasoned
olive oil; dipped
with their homemade bread---Delicious! We
tried a portion
of Chicken Francaise, which was
out of this world!
The chicken was
very tender and
the sauce was
light, lemony and
sweet. The Raviolis were cooked
perfectly and
lightly topped with
marinara sauce.
Then they served
us their very own
special Tiramisu and
Lucia’s Italian Rum
Cake ( my very
favorite!) Another
perfect ending to a
superb night out on
the town!

A New Holiday Musical of Season’s Dreamings
CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE
PRESENTED BY/COMING TO THE CIRQUE
DREAMS THEATRE
AT TRUMP TAJ MAHAL NOVEMBER 24 – DECEMBER 13
Atlantic City, NJ – November 5, 2009; From the
creators of the groundbreaking BROADWAY
HIT, CIRQUE DREAMS Jungle Fantasy, comes a
new holiday musical of season’s dreamings hailed
by the New York Daily News as “charm, sparkle
and talent by the sleighload” and “a jaw dropping
winter wonderland” by the Atlantic City Press.
CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE will light up the
season when it performs at the Cirque Dreams
Theatre at Trump Taj Mahal, beginning Wednesday, November 25 through Sunday, December
13. Show times are 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; 9 p.m. on Friday; 3:30 p.m.
and 8 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Doors will
open one hour prior.
Created and directed by Neil Goldberg,
CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE is an original
new musical extravaganza filled with spectacle,
imagination and whimsical dreams. Ornaments
come to life as costumed characters who perform astonishing feats that celebrate the holiday
season and showcase pageantry, ingenuity and
breathtaking artistry. An international cast of
acrobats, aerialists, singers, dancers and musicians fill this Cirque Dream on stage, in the air
and while dangling from a 24 foot tall magical
tree. Add to that the pomp, cirque-umstance
and amazement of gingerbread men flipping
through the air, toy soldiers skillfully marching on thin wires, snowmen daringly balancing,
icemen sculpting powerfully, penguins spinning,
puppets caroling and reindeer soaring high
above a landscape of holiday wonderment and
you will see why CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE
makes the perfect gift of entertainment. With
over 100 dazzling costumes, an original musical
score and some holiday favorites, CIRQUE
DREAMS HOLIDAZE will have audiences of all
ages mesmerized with its memorable tribute to
the holiday season.
Cirque Dreams Holidaze is the latest brainchild of Goldberg’s theatrical imagination and
the Cirque Dreams brand of entertainment,
creators of international performance, touring
and Broadway sensations Cirque Dreams Jungle
Fantasy, Cirque Dreams Illumination, Cirque
Dreams Pandemonia, Cirque Dreams Coobrila
and Cirque Ingenieux. Millions of fans yearly are
now attending Cirque Dreams shows throughout the U.S. and abroad.
“Cirque Dreams Holidaze had a festive, fiveweek run during the 2008 holiday season at
Trump Plaza. “It was one of Atlantic City’s
only holiday shows and played to sold out
crowds,” said Steve Gietka,Vice President of
Entertainment, Trump Entertainment Resorts.
Gietka added. “The demand for tickets led
us to bring it to the Taj Mahal, where Cirque
Dreams Pandemonia just wrapped up its hit
summer production, to the delight of Trump
Taj Mahal audiences of all ages.”
“Cirque Dreams Holidaze follows in the spirit
of the Cirque Dreams brand vision which
first premiered in 1993. Our dramatic and
elaborate style of presenting Broadway theatrics with influences of European, American
and inventive circus artistry continues to
transcend imagination, appeal to everyone
and offer high quality, affordable entertainment” says Goldberg. Critics and audiences
alike have praised Cirque Dreams shows as
“The grandest circus spectacle east of Vegas”
(New York Magazine) “A whiz-bang family
friendly spectacle” (LA Times), and “Executed
to perfection.”
(Chicago Sun
Times).
