Motown and others, makes a come-back in Vegas - for a while!

When the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino went looking to book a new act, they found "Human Nature". Human Nature is comprised of four white guys from Australia. According to the l.v.sun newspaper, Human Nature has been singing Motown Classics in their native Australia for over twenty years. The act has replaced the long running "legends in Concert" show at the I.P. hotel.
According to the I.P.'s president, the hotel was looking to book an act that included music, dancing and fun. He calls the show and the whole generation that embraced Motown "feel good" music.
The show is called "Smokey Robinson Presents Australia's Human Nature - the Ultimate Celebration of Motown", at the I.P. Hotel & Casino, show times are 8:00 p.m. Sat - Thursday. For further information, visit: imperialpalace.com

Other bands in town include the fabulous Santana. Santana debuted at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in late May. Santana is scheduled to be at the Hard Rock through June 14th. Santana represents another "feel-good" band that represents an entire generation. Carlos Santana has been quoted in the local newspaper as saying that he continues to maintain his "hippy" heart and values, and strives to bring all people together as one. Is it any wonder why at age 61, he's still going strong? For further information visit hardrockhotel.com.

On a separate note about the "hippy" culture of the 60's, I read a recent article that described the hippies of those days with common characteristics. Those traits included:

1. You knew it was a hippy if: they engaged in meditation
2. You knew it was a hippy if: they used incense
3. You knew it was a hippy if: they loved beads
4. You knew it was a hippy if: they didn't wear watches


Hmmmm, so far it sounds like me today..........
