Good year, bad year: critics' highs and lows HIGHS: ROCK/POP/ROOTS/TRAD/FOLK/JAZZ Most people would have predicted that David Byrne’s April show would be entertaining, delightful even, but nobody could have expected a performance as magical as this. The all-white costumes, the whimsical dance routines and the music of Byrne and Brian Eno – imagine Stop Making Sense if it had been directed by Wes Anderson and you’ll begin to picture this outstanding evening at the National Concert Hall.

A Fleeting Year of Memorable Acts If there's one image I can't get out of my head from 2009, it's Barry Manilow grabbing his crotch during a tribute to the late Michael Jackson at the Blue Cross Arena. So let's hurry on to The Year in Reviews: David Byrne, Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center, June 2: "Now that David Byrne's head has evolved into a beautiful ground cover of silver-gray, there's something in his intelligent eyes that reminds me of the filmmaker David Lynch. "Both seem obsessed with the idea of something not quite right in the well-manicured neighborhoods of middle America. Except with Lynch you feel the need to check the trunk for dead bodies. Byrne? You can dance to his malevolence."
