I'm no fan of Celine Dion.

But I'd have to be delusional to say that she isn't a nice coup for the new arena.

She's sold 200 million records. She's made humongous millions of dollars by not budging an inch in Vegas (and whoever says that Vegas is for has-beens is talking about the old Vegas; those rules no longer apply in the new Vegas).

Looking over her itinerary, she's gonna draw from all over Texas, Colorado, Arkansas and southern Kansas for the Tulsa show. The next-closest gig is Kansas City. She doesn't even play Texas until the following January, and that's in San Antonio and Houston. Dallas isn't on the last at all.

So, yeah, she's going to sell out BOK Arena fast.

Mad props for calling out on Mike Patton RM.  If, as I assume, you are referring to the musician Mike Patton I'm proud to relate (and brag that I have seen him in concert with Mr. Bungle 3x, Faith No More 1x, as well as with Fantômas.  If there is some other Mike Patton out there, let me know as I was horribly confused.

Mike Patton is an act I'd go see.  And since Sepultura is coming out with a new album next year, they should get them too.

How about Ozzfest, Lollapalooza or Monsters of Rock?

Although none of these have visited Tulsa that I know of, here is their Google Popularity Ranking.

Lollapalooza 1,780,000
Ozzfest 1,700,00
Monsters of Rock 99,000

200 million records?  Wow, that's more than Zamphir and Slim Whitman combined!

^ LOL. I hope she doesn't leave any Celine stank on our new arena. I know a lot of people like her but I can't understand why.

She will be a big draw, a lot of folks will drive all night to hear her sing that she droove all noght eh.

My thoughts too rwarn.  I won't be buying a ticket, but I am sure her performances here will be a sell out.  Not every act to play at the new arena will be to everyone's taste, but the big draws, such as Dion, will sure help foot the bill.  The more they can pack the house and keep future maintenance costs off of we taxpayers, I am all for it.

On NPR, they occasionally have a segment they call "Vocal Impressions" where they ask listeners to describe a famous person's voice.  (B/c it's NPR, the descriptions tend towards metaphor...but are often poetic or funny.)  One of the famous people they did recently was Celine Dion.  Here are the "impressions" people had of her voice:

A Siamese cat stretched immodestly over a black leather couch.

A melted moon pie on a dashboard.

Rubbing pomade into the hair of a person I don't like.

The bridesmaid's toast at a wedding.

The sound of wealth becoming pedestrian.

The superior smirk on every homecoming queen you ever hated.

Tired love.

The last thing you want to hear on a large ship in the middle of the ocean.

The most ornate Christmas lights that are put out at Halloween and are still flashing at Easter.

Water flowing without ripples.

The way you feel after a really good haircut.

A warm bed with clean sheets.

The gum you find on the bottom of your shoe just after getting off the Ferris wheel.

What every mother's lullaby sounds like to an infant.

A beautiful wool sweater you never put on because it irritates you.

Considering they are trying to sell tickets A YEAR IN ADVANCE....this is about right.

Recycle Michael Patton. He's the executive director of the MET.

Mike Patton has a new badass album called Peeping Tom.

But I assume they're both just as popular.
Isn't that what you meant Michael?
