Legalize It

There are puckish signs of a zeitgeist shift. A few weeks ago, the White House decided to stage a forum in which the President would answer questions submitted by the public; 92,000 people responded — and most of them seemed obsessed with the legalization of marijuana. The two most popular questions about "green jobs and energy," for example, were about pot.

Santana Launches Residency in Las Vegas

CARLOS SANTANA LAUNCHES FIRST ROCK RESIDENCY SHOW IN LAS VEGAS AT THE JOINT AT HARD ROCK HOTEL.
Through 2010, The Joint will be the only place west of the Mississippi that a fan can see Santana perform. Titled to pay homage to his most successful body of work to date, Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits debuts on Wednesday May 27 and features the artists signature fusion sound in a show designed exclusively for the new venue.
The show will feature career-spanning classics, which will include a nostalgic collection of touchstone tracks reaching back as far as the first charting single Jingo (1969) and first Top 10 hit Evil Ways (1970), up through the latest hit, Into The Night (2008). According to Carlos, "A Trip Through The Hits is designed to bring everyone in the audience together as one", said Carlos Santana. "I invite you to join our experience - we'll mix up a little practical spirituality with a rebel-from-the-street vibe, and with lots of incredible music. My wish is for it to be a night that will move you to dance, to cry, to laugh and to feel the totality and fullness of being alive."
Santana will play approximately 36 shows per year at The Joint which has just been completely updated and expanded to 4000 seats. Tickets for performances through September went on-sale Wednesday, April 1. Prices range from $70-$299
