REVIEW: The Who Does 'Quadrophenia' in Louisville
Rock legends perform Rock Opera in full at KFC "Yum!" Center Saturday night
{CommentsCant} · Monday, February 18, 2013
For a couple of decades, I've resisted going to concerts by legendary Rock bands and icons I've loved who keep touring without much in the way of new material. I'd rather remember The Rolling Stones via video footage of their ’60 and early ’70s peak.

Despite Frank Ocean's deft leg-syncing and Taylor Swift's torture-porn-disguised-as-wholesome-circus, Akron, Ohio's Dan Auerbach and The Black Keys were The Grammys' big story last night, winning five trophies, the most of any artist.
While the Keys won the Grammys for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, Auerbach scored two solo Grammys for his production work, winni...

Two AltRock greats tackle Queen's operatic anthem … but can they top The Muppets?
