Cream Calendar Don't Forget: Creed Play Sommet Center Tonight

In case you've forgotten, that ridiculously cheap Creed show at the Sommet Center is tonight. I don't know about y'all, but I've had a GREAT fucking day and I'd love nothing more than to go even higher. I got cable today. For the first time in over a year I can spend my entire weekend watching MSNBC and VH1 Classic in my underwear.
Here's what I had to say about Creed in this week's dead tree edition of the Scene:
Admit it: You kind of missed Creed. If not for their divine post-grunge stylings, then for the many transgressions that took rock clichés "Higher" than Spinal Tap ever could have. Whether motivated by a band member's claim that lead singer Scott Stapp was a better songwriter than his muse Eddie Vedder, to Stapp's comically messianic persona, drunken jack-assery on celebrity poker shows, beefs with Fred Durst, beat-downs by the members of 311 and the group of fans who sued the band for performing a terrible concert in 2003, never in the history of rock music has there been a more fun band to hate. On top of all that, they--like another band of comedians, The Blues Brothers--were on a mission from God. Now, in 2009, Stapp & Co. have reunited. Whether it's in hopes of finding some critical redemption or just to make us smile once again, ticket prices as low as $7.79 are surely a sign of the times, as well as a fine incentive for actual fans of the band (they're out there, right?) to embrace their return to the stage with arms wide open.

Man, even if Creed tickets had been free I wouldn't have posted about it. I don't want to encourage bad music. Ever. You couldn't pay me $7.79 to sit through a Creed show, and that's saying a lot, because I could really use that money.
