Lady Gaga & Kid Cudi: “Monster Fame” Tour

Although everyone of us are preparing now for finals, the once cancelled “Fame Kills” Tour, now renamed “Monster Fame” Tour with Lady Gaga and newly appointed wingman, Kid Cudi, is arriving in San Diego on December 19th at the Sports Arena. Even though all of us are set to become bookworms and establish a second home in the library, hopefully some of us who haven’t already been brain fried and exhausted by the constant hours of studying will be able to attend this star-studded concert. Lady Gaga has captured the attention of the music industry not only with her voice but also with her sex appeal and personality. Kid Cudi is relatively new to the game of hip-hop but his album, “Man on the Moon”, is one of the best albums of 2009 that I’ve heard thus far, topping Jay-Z’s “Blueprint 3″ and 50 Cent’s “Before I Self Destruct”.

Kanye West/Lady Gaga “Fame Kills” Tour

Information travels fast in this day and age of technological advancements and improvements in communication. As I was checking my Twitter account, I happened to find under the Rolling Stone Twitter page the announcement that Kanye West/Lady Gaga had pulled the plug on their much anticipated “Fame Kills” tour. The one page article on Rolling Stone’s website didn’t indicate a concrete explanation for the cancellation, but it can be assumed that the added pressure and attention on Kanye, due to his now infamous interruption of Taylor Swift in this past month’s MTV Music Awards, was one of the main reasons. The “Fame Kills” tour was supposed to come down to San Diego on Nov. 11th at the San Diego Sports Arena. Although the article failed to mention when ticket refunds would be available, I’m hoping that it will be fairly soon so myself and the rest of the public can recoup their money.
