Music reviewer Tony Bennett hit Blitzen Trapper’s show at The Rex on Friday and said the Phish-style jams worked better than the band’s more country moments.
Bennett caught Jonathan Richman at Sacred Heart Music Center on Saturday and said the musician pulled the 50-ish fans into circle at his feet.
And, of course, condolences to anyone who ever sprawled in front of a boom box with the pause button primed so they could record the top song from “American Top 40.” Casey Kasem, 82, died on Sunday.
