I love Rob Sheffield for ALWAYS using the "Not the same" bit. Over and over, if you will.
This is the same Rolling Stone that named U2's Songs Of Innocence album of the year 2014, what's their verdict worth anyhow?

Thanks Ripped Man for your feedback. That's exactly what I wanted to know.

Well, I actually agreed with them there.

It's not like there's only one critical voice at Rolling Stone. There are tons. The majority of them just had a bout of horrible taste last year.
I used to enjoy reading Travers's movie reviews, but once I saw his YouTube videos, it sort of soured me on them entirely, hehe...

He always struck me as a massive case of arrested development.
Thanks for sharing your experience RippedMan. Glad to hear you had a good time.
Did Madonna come on between 9:30 and 10:00?
She went on at 9.50pm according to one of the reviews.
Another little 'blog review' (according to Namo) The New York Times

Jon Pareles is a real critic. Funny how his lede is my criticism of her!
Sean Penn enjoys "True Blue". (She's sounding great on the acoustic numbers!)

I was at last night's concert. Madonna really is a great entertainer going non-stop for two hours in great form. Was overall pleased with the concert, but I'm not really a big concert guy in general with all the screaming fans and large crowds. I know I'm boring. Amy Schumer was hilarious though and kept the whole audience on edge for a half hour. Madonna came on last night around 9:25.
Namo just STOP you sound insane.

Why do I sound insane? I DID say she let's the audience see her sweat earlier in this thread!
It's been a flop, free seats, tacky and amateur, critics only give good reviews. All are just an attempt to make yourself right after your doom and gloom predictions. Yet again you got it wrong, admit defeat and move along. as you do though read another great review

You're confusing people. The "only good reviews" thing wasn't me.
Sorry you kinda both merged in to one.
FindingNamo said: "I'm not nuts. I've received review tickets and published plenty of reviews in my day (please note, Liam's Armband). But nowadays there aren't very many real reviews. Just chat about what the person who gets the free seats saw happening around them. That's why there's so many "She's still got it!" reviews.
"
Haha Erik
another rave from The Hollywood Reporter

If you need to distinguish Name and I, start a conversation about Bono.

Just to clarify my clarification. I was saying Jon Pareles is a real critic, not an event chatter. And I thought it was funny that his lede (which he meant as praise) was something I criticize her for.

Now here's an in-depth review of the type I like. A long word count, some thinking, some context, and a whole lot of analysis.
Was Lindsay Soldaz from Vulture even at the show? She mentions Veni Vidi Vici more than once, and it's not even a song that's in the show.
Also those tank tops were $40.00, not $60.00
