As I’m sure most of you have read by now, late night talk show pioneer Tom Snyder died yesterday. From 1973 to 1982, he followed “The Tonight Show” with his edgier (well, compared to Johnny Carson) “Tomorrow Show.” And what some may have forgotten by now is that his show was occasionally a platform for punk and new wave bands.

I recently rented and highly recommend the DVD set “The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder: Punk & New Wave,” which features performances and interviews with Joan Jett, Iggy Pop and Elvis Costello, among others. His interview

A while back Toby Keith was pegged, quite unfairly, as some kind of extreme right-wing jingo. And there he was on the White River Amphitheatre stage singing "Love Me If You Can," a tender ballad about how misunderstood and hurt he’d been in the wake of the "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)" controversy.

"I’m a man of my convictions," he sang. "Call me wrong, call me right/ But I bring my better angels to every fight."

Hey, who knew Mr. Boot in Your A– had such a vulnerable, sensitive side?

"We’ve

Miranda Lambert will take the White River Amphitheatre stage in just a few hours when she opens for Toby Keith. And last week I caught up with the up-and-coming country star to talk about …

… “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” confessions.

… does boyfriend Blake Shelton have anything to worry about?

… the hectic process of recording her hit album.

Hate nu metal all you want. (Stupid Fred Durst!) And say what you will about Linkin Park. But the kings of rap rock came back strong in 2007, first with the best first week record sales of the year (more than 623,000 copies of "Minutes to Midnight") and now with what’s sure to be one of the biggest tours of the summer, Projekt Revolution.

Linkin Park’s answer to Ozzfest kicked off Wednesday at Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre, with My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Placebo, HIM, Mindless Self Indulgence and more adding support. And while the show didn’t

This just faxed in from Riverside Ford: Apparently, Bothell “American Idol” contestant, Blake Lewis, will show up at the Sumner dealership at 1 p.m. on Friday to pick up the 2007 Ford Mustang he won for being on the show. You know, just in case you’re wondering about all the screaming girls and traffic in that area Friday afternoon.

After my last Club Vertigo post, an alert reader noticed that this logo is eerily reminiscent of this one. Hmmmm. Coincidence?

Ah, maybe the designer lives part time in Costa Rica. Wink, wink.

I’ve learned more about Club Vertigo since last Thursday’s post. Assuming no delays in construction, licenses and inspections, organizers say the rock club will open on Aug. 10.

One of those organizers is the Show Media’s Joey Gingerella, who booked bands for the 54, the club that occuped Club Vertigo’s space (5402 South Tacoma Way) until the club unexpectedly shut down in May.

Gingerella said the club space has been given a significant makeover that has included moving the stage, adding a permanent beer garden and significantly increasing capacity. "We redid the inside to
