Bryan Weaver Considering Run Against Jim Graham

Rumors about a possible D.C. Council run by ANC 1C chair Bryan Weaver have been circulating for weeks now, and DCist had been dutifully pestering the longtime Adams Morgan activist to confirm his intentions for some time before ... getting royally scooped by Loose Lips this afternoon. Sigh. Weaver "filed exploratory papers with the Office of Campaign Finance on Tuesday," Mike DeBonis reports.
Weaver was kind enough to at least send us a quick statement via email shortly after the news broke. Given the controversy surrounding incumbent Jim Graham's right hand man, the Ward 1 race could be one to watch in 2010. Then again, Weaver has reportedly only raised about $2,500 so far, and he still hasn't definitely, absolutely decided to run.
So who's been trying to convince Weaver to run? "Friends, activists, small business owners and other ANC Commissioners have approached me," Weaver says, noting that he wasn't too hard a sell, at least conceptually. "It's not a surprise to anyone that I have been actually bothered by the atmosphere of the Wilson Building."
"I have always resented influence peddling, petty and punitive politics," Weaver added, in a hardly veiled reference to the Loza controversy.

John Adams rallies for key Bowl division win, PSAL Week 9 football roundup


The John Adams HS Spartans' season it may have been the most important intermission.
Adams trailed by eight points against Beach Channel on Saturday as the team headed into halftime, and the team needed a victory to secure a spot in the upcoming PSAL Bowl division playoffs.
But coach Jerry Weitzen didn't give his team an impassioned speech. He simply told them to recall how they'd opened the year with six straight wins, and play with similar fire in the second half.
"I said, 'Here we are in a dogfight,'" Weitzen said. "If we lose, we may not make the playoffs. We have to come out and fight and play like true champions."
The Spartans did exactly as their coach requested, scoring 22 straight points in a 22-20 victory.
The win likely secured the Spartans' place in the four team Bowl division playoffs, which will begin in two weeks. Adams is now in third place in the division behind Truman (8-0) and Jefferson (7-1).
The Spartans fell to August Martin, 8-4, last weekend, and Weitzen said another setback on Saturday would have been "painful."
His team averted that with an explosive third quarter. During one 40-second span, the Spartans scored 16 points. First, Brandon Wilson scored a two yard rushing touchdown and converted the two point conversion. Beach Channel fumbled the ensuing kickoff return, and Dolphins senior Jahleek Austin recovered the ball in his own end zone, where he was tackled for a safety, giving Adams a 10-8 lead.
Adams' Akeeme Chavis returned the following kickoff for another touchdown, giving Adams a 16-8 advantage. The team extended that to 22-8 early in the fourth quarter, when linebacker Carlito Atkins scooped up a fumble and rumbled 66-yards for another score.
Beach Channel cut into the lead when Daryll Sanford found Wayne Harris for an 11-yard TD midway through the fourth, and Turran Rhodes brought the team to within two points, 22-20, with a 21 yard rushing score with 1:55 to play. But the Spartans defense stopped Sanford from rushing for the potential game tying two point conversion, tackling him at the one yard line.

acoustic theater run, Bryan Adams keeps up



An acoustic tour of the US early two months, Bryan Adams [ tickets ] has added a handful of new gigs to his fall itinerary.
The journey, which got underway early last month, continues Friday (10/23) in Miami, then works its way north along the East Coast. Since last check, Adams has tacked four new stops onto the schedule; shows will now take place in Minneapolis (12/4); Waukegan, IL (12/5); Joliet, IL (12/6); and Dearborn, WI (12/8). Details are shown below.
The Canadian singer/songwriter, who will spend November performing in Europe and January touring the UK, most currently released "11," his aptly titled 11th studio set. The effort hit shelves last year exclusively at Wal Mart and Sam's Club retailers. Adams followed the album's arrival with an "11 Days, 11 Cities" acoustic tour of Europe, as well as a late year solo acoustic run of the US.
Earlier this summer, Adams was rewarded for his contributions to music and philanthropic initiatives with a Canadian postage stamp bearing his image.
"I never thought about it," Adams said of this recognition during a recent interview with LiveDaily. "I got a message from a friend of mine saying, 'Congratulations getting on a stamp, but I'm not sure I'll be too keen about licking the back side of it.'"

Bryan Adams Canadian rocker will be stripping back to the ‘Bare Bones’ when he comes to Belfast at the start of next year.
The singer, whose track Everything I Do is the longest running UK number one single ever, the Waterfront Hall in Belfast will play a acoustic show on Sunday, January 17.
The concert will look Adams perform without his usual rock band. The Grammy award winner has interspersed these acoustic shows with stadium dates in Europe and the US, giving his classic hits a new spin.
Adams will also play Dublin, Caslebar and Killarney as part of the Bare Bones tour.

His agent said Doherty was suffering from enervation and breathing difficulties.

Perfection was Bryan Adam


Perfection Two hours and 10 minutes. He is so charming and funny. To look Bryan at the Orpheum was such a treat. Their sound was amazing. Just him and his guitar, unplugged. Piano player by a attented for a few songs. Jim Vallance also came out for a couple of songs. Bryan gave some history behind the hits. Added some humour when allow. I was lucky to be able to enough stand right in front of him. Sheer perfection.

Multitalented man, Adams is busy


Everybody knows Bryan Adams the rock star.
In the '80s, Adams was on top of the music world with a pair of multi platinum selling albums "Cuts Like a Knife" and his 1984 chart topper "Reckless."
But do you also know Bryan Adams the award winning photographer? Or Bryan Adams the philanthropist?
Nearly 30 years after his debut album, the 49 year old Adams has become as synonymous with Canada as Rush and the Toronto Maple Leafs. He even had his own postage stamp issued in his home country earlier this year. And he continues to stay busy with a plethora of activities, all of which he's proven to be very good at.
He will play in Salt Lake City on Sunday, his first gig in Utah in many years. Adams himself told the Deseret News he couldn't remember the last time he was in the Beehive State.
For his current tour, Adams is playing solo acoustic, And fans are being treated to songs spanning his entire career, including some deep cuts off his earliest albums.
Adams said, "It's something I needed to do forever but didn't actually have the (courage) to do it"

Bryan Adams with Q and A


Bryan Adams is on the short list of the most successful and popular of rock singers to issue in the '80s. The Canadian born Adams has had a string of hits in the last three decades, while 1983's Cuts Like a Knife and 1994's Reckless are albums that became part of the musical vocabulary of anyone who grew up during that decade. In 1991, Adams won a Grammy for the then ubiquitous "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," from the soundtrack to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Throughout his career, Adams has been a visible and wide-ranging activist for social issues including human rights, poverty and the peace process in assorted parts of the world. He has also become a well known and sought out photographer whose work has appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar. In 2008, Adams released his latest studio album, 11 and received lukewarm reception from critics, despite being well received by fans. We had a chance to speak with Adams in London as he prepared for his first acoustic tour. Read the full interview after the jump.

The superstar unlikely


Here's a "what if?" scenario for you -- what if Bryan Adams had gone country?
He might be able to fill Rexall Place twice, like Keith Urban, whose country rockin' stylings has yielded few tunes anyone who wasn't a country fan would know --unlike Bryan Adams, whose songs are far more of a draw than he is and in doing so has become one of the most unlikely country superstars ever made.
Born in New Zealand, moved to Australia, then to Nashville, Tenn., reformed drug addict, happily married to Nicole Kidman, new father to a baby girl, which increases the "aww" factor in Urban's popularity exponentially, this is quite a story.
Last night's two hour display of complimentary traits (handsome, talented, good singer, smart songwriter, decent guitarist) come together for a common cause (to make women melt) was as country as the average Bryan Adams concert, which is to say it was only country accidentally, and just as filled to the brim with romantic homilies.
Urban and his capable band opened with the upbeat Hit the Ground Running basically a warning that he won't take "we're through!" for an answer segueing gracefully into the slightly less upbeat Days Go By (a reminder that life is short) and then into the downbeat ballad Stupid Boy, an admonishment of some former cad boyfriend she's better off without.
Women near the front of the stage waved New Zealand flags (maybe Australian, hard to tell from a distance) and proffered roses, not the first or last display of female Urban-generated hysteria. Yes indeed, most if not all of Urban's material is about or directed at women. Know your target market!
Later came Once in a Lifetime, with its telling line, "Don't fear it now, we're going all the way," before getting into all the stuff about having kids and growing old together. This remains one of the best pick-up lines ever penned. The man is a master.
Small countrified trappings like a largely inaudible mandolin player who looked like Nikki Sixx or the fact everyone was wearing blue jeans did little to detract from the essential '80s-rock, balls-to-the-walls, Bryan Adams ness of the evening.
All that was missing was a man singing about his first real six-string he bought at the five and dime in the summer of '69. Keith Urban was two years old in 1969, although the trusty "six string" appears in one of his best-loved songs, Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me, not being played until his fingers bled, but with his girlfriend, "across her pretty knee."
Much has been made of Urban's prowess on the six-string, but again he is less a real "picker" like Brad Paisley than a basic rock guitarist. At one point, he copped his best Eddie Van Halen solo and sang at the same time. You don't hear that every day.
Urban was also unafraid to take the spotlight to himself in several songs, holding 14,000 fans in rapt attention with only his voice and strumming guitar on heartrending love ballads, mainly.
The more obvious romantic stuff got the biggest response, of course, including a late evening rendition of You Look Good in My Shirt while draped in a Canadian flag. Real crowd pleaser, that one. Basic message of the song: Sure, we haven't worked out our problems yet, but the sex is awesome, so let's keep trying.
Taking the metaphor to music: Keith Urban still hasn't come up with a song I'm going to remember two minutes after it's over, but his showmanship is so amazing that maybe it doesn't matter. We'll see what happens when the long honeymoon is over.
Openers Lady Antebellum sure has a new fangled, high-falutin' sound for such an a quaint name basically "Lady Before the Civil War," which I guess means that they're more than 150 years old and owned slaves. Well, never mind.
These good looking young singers probably picked it because it sounded cool. Or maybe Antebellum in this case refers to before the Gulf War, which may explain why all their music sounds like bad '80s pop. This, of course, is one of the hallmarks of modern country music identifiable only as such by blue jeans and perhaps a slight twang in the voice. So there's not a lot of depth here, but plenty of flash with a pair of strong singers --one male, one female -- singing smoky romantic ballads into each other's eyes when they're not frolicking around the stage to lively tunes so radio friendly they practically hump your leg.
Faithful versions of both Boys of Summer and Hurts So Good seals the band's fate as yet another woefully unoriginal product of the Nashville hit machine. In short, they're the new Sugarland.
Urban's show repeats tomorrow night.

Adams has sold more than 65 million records, toured six continents and achieved #1 status in over 40 countries around the world.

Vanilla Ice is coming, why even if no one knows?


I am excited but I'm not conform why. Maybe it's the pull of nostalgia. Maybe it's morbid fascination. South African shores have proven hospitable to acts that are somewhat past their prime. In crrrent years we've had Foreigner, Air Supply, Jethro Tull, Rod Stewart, Simply Red, Cliff Richard, ZZ Top, Bryan Adams, Bread and many many others. Don't get me wrong. Some of these acts are nice but none of them are at the height of their fame. Are they hoping that SA is hiding a musical fountain of youth?

Think of it as the Cold Factor. American folk musician Rodriguez had elderly from music after failing to succeed in his home country. He then found out that he is super famous in South Africa and came to tour, enjoing a career reappearance. Who knows… Maybe SA can do the same for Mr Ice aka Robert Matthew Van Winkle (a much better stage name, if you ask me). And if it works for him, maybe it'll work for other bands whose star power has used in the heaven. I need to see MC Hammer's pants making a return. I need to see Boy George, pot belly and all. I need to see Ringo Starr doing his solo shtick. I need to see Hanson now that they're grown women. I need to see Europe doing one Final Countdown. I need to see Billy Ray Cyrus stepping out of Miley's shadow. Come one! Come all!

Rolls out hits in solo show to Bryan Adams


It appeared only fitting that the hall with such a abundant history would play host to a musician with such a deep schedule of hits.
Perhaps even more fitting was how the Massey Hall stage was so abnormally barren, matching the rather sparse, solo acoustic evening Bryan Adams had in store for the near capacity army on Thursday evening in Toronto.
The two-hour, 29 song show was the first of three Adams has in Toronto this week, two at Massey Hall and a Roy Thomson Hall agreement on Friday. And fortunately it was empty of the slick, road polished performance Adams has perfected with his longtime bridle over the years.
With six studio lights in a semi circle and a piano off to his right, Adams desolated no time delving into his heap of singles with Run To You and briefly inviting the crowd to clap where the kick drum would be heard.
"Thank you good evening everybody," Adams said prior to Thought I'd Died And Gone To Heaven, the first of several softer, romantic ballads on the way.
Looking in 2009 the same way he did in 1989 and 1999 with the boyish look, denim jeans and raspy voice, Adams appeared to enjoy himself throughout on Let's Make A Night To Remember and the poppy Can't Stop This Thing We Started from the album Waking Up The Neighbours.
Adams played a similar show last year at The Carlu but definitely preferred the acoustics, intimacy and vibe in this hallowed venue, recalling how his first Massey Hall show was supporting an unnamed bridle who messed with his sound cables onstage.
Other stories about performing at Casa Loma of all places early in his career were told when not replying to shouts and screams from female fans. "It's the Toronto mating call," he homoured after one shriek early on.
While the night ended with different hits, the middle portion of the show was perhaps the most entertaining overall. Following his stomping during Heat Of The Night, Adams brought out his early writing partner Jim Vallance to play piano on the astralThe Best Was Yet To Come.
How to top that? Well, Stompin' Tom Connors of course. Adams jokingly started a verse of The Hockey Song before performing the entire number as the crowd clapped and sang. He also ad-libbed that he didn't know what happened to the Leafs while a fan shouted "the Blue Jays suck too."
Another effective one-two alliance was (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (a song not heard on radio in over 2 hours) and Cuts Like A Knife as the audience supplied the "na na na" harmonies to the latter.
After accepting a BRYAN ADAMS allowance plate from a fan, Adams nailed This Time before giving Please Forgive Me a humorous country feel complete with the twang and southern Nashville drawl.
Heaven, Somebody, Summer Of '69, Straight From The Heart and Never Let Go (dedicated to Canadian soldiers overseas) fleshed out the performance, one which breathed some fresh life into the older nuggets.

Bryan Adams performing in Missoula


Bryan Adams doesn't have quite the ring of his signature hit "Summer of '69". But for Montana fans of Bryan Adams, the "Summer of '09" will bring the Canadian rocker's magic to Missoula.
Adams, who dominated the airwaves and MTV in the 1980s with hits like "Run to You" and "Cuts Like a Knife" from the heart will be performing at the Wilma Theater as this summer winds down next month.
