Buckwheat tonight, Lewis Black coming to Behrend

If you want to celebrate that Indianapolis Super Bowl win -- or drink away the Bears' loss -- the Docksider is a good place to hang out tonight.

Buckwheat Zydeco will be there, ripping up the place with high-energy infectious tunes, straight from the bayou. Yankee Zydeco Company has been added a special guest; they start around 7 p.m. Look for Buckwheat to take the stage around 8:15 p.m. The early start is a good idea. You can have fun, but still get up for work the next day.

Tickets are $20 at the door.

I was glad to see Prince not get electrocuted during his Super Bowl halftime show. He can still tear it up on guitar, but that downpour had me worried for him. Still, he put on a pretty electrifying show that benefitted from its unpredictability. He wove in a little Creedence, some Foo Fighters and more with his own mega hits. That kept the set moving. Closing with "Purple Rain" -- considering all the rain - was also nice, if coincidental, plan.

Now, after McCartney, then Stones and Prince -- three titans in a row -- who should play the next Super Bowl? Personally, I think it's time a woman rocked the house. How about Aretha, maybe, or Mary J. Blige? Gwen Stefani? Let me know what you think.

Anyone else besides me going to catch Pink Floyd Experience perform at the Warner on Wednesday? I'll let you know my thoughts in my block on Thursday.

This just in: Political comedian Lewis Black has confirmed an April 21 show at Penn State Behrend's Junker Center. Ticket information will be available soon.
