This past Valentine's Day I took my beautiful wife to see Matt Dusk live at the McDavid Studio in Ft. Worth. My wife is a fan of Michael Buble and the other crooners from the past, so when I saw that Matt was going to be performing in town I bought us tickets, complete with a romantic candlelit dinner and a champagne toast.
I have to say, as a guy, I thouroughly enjoyed the experience and was very impressed with Matt Dusk's stage presence and sound. His inspiration for crooning is Old Blue Eyes himself. In fact, he sings some of Frank's songs and is quite amazing at covering Franky Baby down to his voice inflections and posture. He dresses to the nines and just exudes class.
I particularly enjoyed his biggest hit, so far - "Back in Town" - (Click on the tilte for his YouTube video performance). This is a great mixture of old style crooning with a modern flare that I am sure is going to really catch on for Matt. Another favorite was - "Two Shots of Happy - One Shot of Sad". This song was written by Bono of U2 for Sinatra, but he passed on before he was able to record it, so Bono gave it to Matt Dusk to record.
If you get a chance, go see Matt Dusk live in concert and be sure to buy his CD - This kid is going to be huge!

Miley Cyrus says Vanity Fair photo spread embarrasses her

LOS ANGELES - Miley Cyrus said she's embarrassed by an apparently racy photo spread appearing in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair.
"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about," Cyrus said Sunday in a statement through her publicist.
The photos, by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, were taken to accompany an interview with the 15-year-old pop star and her father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus. They include shots of the teen reportedly topless and wrapped in a blanket...
GIVE ME A BREAK... MILEY CYRUS - SHAME ON YOU!
I'm sorry, but you don't get naked and wrap yourself in a blanket and not realize that these pictures might come out looking "racy". She is obviously "growing up" in front of the camera and yes, that is very difficult, but really... how dumb does she think her fans are?
My wife and I don't have children, so our household hasn't been smitten by the HM bug, so we don't have little HM wannabees running around who might just buy into her "apology". It really makes me wonder, though, if she thinks she can actually pull this one off.
I don't really fault her for "posing" for the racy pictures because, by all means, that's her choice. But, posing for something like that and then afterward acting dumbfounded like she had no idea they were going to turn out the way they did.
I mean come on Miley Cyrus! Own it!
