Now That's Rock And/Or Roll

Here's an upcoming concert in the Bay Area;

COUNTING CROWS and GOO GOO DOLLS
June 25, 2006, 8PM
The SLEEP TRAIN PAVILION in Concord.

Nothing tells your aging, out-of-touch, suburbanite fans that you still know how to rock quite as well as playing somewhere named for a mattress wholesaler. What, was the Geritol-Dome booked that night? What about the CountryTime Lemonade Amphitheatre? Surely they can stay another night and play the Werther's Hard Candy Center.

Speaking of which, what's up with Cleveland's basketball arena? The Quicken Loans Center? I was willing to let it slide just naming arenas after corporations, but SPECIFIC PRODUCTS? What the hell's next? Will it be too long before we see the "New Dr. Pepper Black Cherries & Cream Center", or maybe the "KFC #2 Meal, Extra Crispy with Coleslaw and a Sprite Dome"?
