While Pearl Jam got a 3/4 page spread heralding their visit to the 17K-seat Las Vegas MGM Grand Gardens Arena--a venue they nearly sold out--here was the listing for the Violent Femmes "concert" two days later:
Violent Femmes -- this funky band will have you "Blister in the Sun," July 8, 8pm, $29, Poolside at the South Coast Hotel Casino."
Never heard of the South Coast Hotel Casino? Neither had I, and I've lived near Vegas almost all my life. I used Google maps to locate it. Here's a screenshot of the satellite aerial view of the place.

Location! Location! Location! It's a modest seven miles south of the airport end of the Strip! Oh, hey! Isn't that Penn Jillette's sprawling magic estates further south??

Anyway, I guess recently I've worried about waning interest in Morrissey and what that might look like in the long run. I just hope M has the good sense to pack it up before he's booked Poolside at the South Coast Hotel.
