Moved by the tragedy of war in Ukraine, the Damekor wanted to respond in the way they know best, through song. And the songs in their program are powerful and emotional. They sing of freedom, homeland, hands reaching out to help, trading weapons for plowshares, war, peace and, above all, hope. Many of the songs in the program come from...
RAINBOW – Natasha and Jack Ragland said they were pleased that the San Diego County Fair at Del Mar opened this year after being closed for three years with the Covid pandemic.

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News In a daring directorial debut, Shana Cooper was invited to The Old Globe to reimagine Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." Her point of view is clearly a feminist's revenge on a dead playwright. Not a word in the advanced publicity indicated this new direction. Thinking I would attend Opening Night to see an updated version of this classic battle between the sexes, I must admit, I wasn't prepared to see Kate's bridegroom...
Karen Ossenfort Special to the Village News Oingo Boingo Dead Man's Party Tribute band and DEVO Tribute band jam-packed the Starlight venue at Pala Casino & Resort Saturday night, June 11.

With that the band played all the DEVO hits such as "Working in a Coal Mine," "Freedom of...

Joe Naiman Village News Reporter Last year, Trace Adkins released his 25th anniversary album which is called “The Way I Wanna Go.” Adkins is emphasizing being himself, and he focused on being himself during his May 12 concert at Pala Casino’s Palomar Starlight Theater. Adkins and the five musicians who joined him performed 18 songs during their 89 minutes on the stage, ranging chronologically from his 1996 songs “There’s a Girl in Texas” and “Every Light in the House” to songs from his most recent album. The variety emphasi...
Bob Garver Special to the Village News I watched the original “Top Gun” from 1986 to prepare for “Top Gun: Maverick.” The aerial stunt work and action sequences were impressive, but like many 80’s movies, it fell into the trap of having a smarmy protagonist in Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. I was particularly skeezed out by a scene where he blatantly overstepped a boundary by following prospective love interest Charlie (Kelly McGillis) into a ladies’ room to hit on her. Fortunately, Maverick is much better-behaved in...
Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News As hard as it is to accept, I have been forced to conclude, the ol gal ain't what she used to be. The result being, I cannot possibly get to as many shows as I have in the past. And now, this is not an excuse but a blunder on the theatre's website (and, yes, I shouldn't have waited to the last minute, but it was Donut Sunday when the 6- and 8-year-old grandkids were here plus I was still reeling from the departure of my...

Karen Ossenfort Special to the Village News The San Diego music scene lost a true devotee to his music and to so many others last year in the fall. Valentino Frankestein, aka Raven White, aka Atomic Blondes, aka Roger Shy, entertained for years prior to his untimely death. Val was into the more moody 80s music, more serious. And always good. His death sent reverberations throughout the music scene from San Diego to LA and all parts of the world. His fiance, Cher Stroble, was finally able to pay tribute to Valentino at a...

Nathalie Taylor Special to the Village News "Hey baby, they're playin' our song..." – The Buckinghams (1967) Strobe lights created rays of misty light as guests filed into the venue at Pala Casino and Resort on May 14. It was a night of remembrance for the audience in the packed concert venue. I was there to remember the late sixties, and I am confident that most of the guests came for the same reason. As we age, one of the great joys of life is to revel in the wonderful m... Full story
