Ten hot concerts to see this summer

Fans of all types of music are sure to find something to enjoy this season.Check out the list

9) Kiss and Motley Crue: Hard rock and loud guitars are determined to make a comeback in 2012 and nowhere better to get your fix of decibels and fireworks than from these two tried and true ensembles of seasoned rock veterans. Named simply "The Tour," there should be nothing simple about this assault on the senses. There's still no better way to get loud and stupid than with the kings of guilt-free hedonism. Ladies not looking to get pregnant should stay away from the backstage areas. These guys are contagious!
6) Beach House: Don't forget to see the Baltimore, Maryland dream-pop duo Beach House, which features a man and a woman for your viewing pleasure. The fourth and latest album, Bloom, establishes them as a duo riding a creative wave worth hearing. Wild Nothing, yet another dream pop outfit, run by Jack Tatum, will join them on most dates. Prepare yourselves to dream the night away! 
5) Fiona Apple: With a long-awaited new album that has more words in its title than we have space, Fiona Apple will prove she really missed us. Her shows are mostly in small enough clubs that you will actually feel like you are there and not just watching the show on a Jumbotron. Prepare to silently wonder if you should've kept up those piano lessons you had as a child. Careful, though, you don't want to step on anyone else's inner child when getting refreshments!

(In This Style, i.e., of the article's glib, gee-whiz tone, if the classics were pop artists)

Hamlet: Should he stay or should he go? Whether you have step/father issues or not, you won't have any trouble making up *your* mind to catch the tortured artist formerly known as the prince of the rotten state of Denmark!
Huckleberry Finn: The Boss may have had *his* River, Paul Robeson his, and CCR and Tina Turner theirs, but they never the Twain met one like this! You'll be asking WTH? (What the Huck) in a Mississippi minute!
Gone With the Wind: Frankly, my dears, you *will* give a damn every last one of you! Burn Atlanta if you have to - just don't miss this one, Miss or Mister Scarlett!
Casablanca: of all the theaters in all the towns in all the world it had to play - and play again! - in the one nearest you! You'll be shocked - shocked! - to find rambling going on in this article!
Apocalypse Now: You'll love the smell of popcorn in the evening when this one opens at your local theater: it's a jungle in there, but you'll soon, in spite of the horror, come to heart the darkness, Charlie, and maybe even Kurtzy at the end!
