A01 CMYK The Warrior Beat 6 The Century Link Center in Omaha has been the go-to place for concerts and Omaha area sports teams like the Creighton Blue Jays and the UNO Mavericks. In the month of April, the arena will be welcom- ing one of country music’s biggest stars, Jason Aldean and the rock band Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi performed at the CenturyLink Center on April 8. A large crowd came out to enjoy one of the best touring bands in history on a Monday night. Band member Richie Sambora, the lead guitarist, decided to withdraw from the current leg of the “Because We Can Tour” citing personal is- sues. He was replaced by Phil X and made some songs sound like hard metal. He was hidden from the viewers on close-ups. Bon Jovi kicked off their performance with “You Give Love A Bad Name.” The 51-year-old singer danced around the stage with high energy for the two and a half hour set. The band performed the classic songs “Raise Your Hands,” “Lost High- way,” and “Runaway” before taking a de- tour into their most recent album “What About Now.” Bon Jovi sang “Because We Can,” “That’s What The Water Made Me,” “What About Now,” and “Amen” off the new album. The band went back to the more familiar songs with “We Weren’t Born To Follow,” “Born To Be My Baby,” “I Will Be There For You,” “Bed Of Roses” and “Bad Medicine.” The fans sang along to several of the songs and Jon Bon Jovi acted as the director. The encore ended with a bang as Bon Jovi sang “Wanted Dead Or Alive,” Have A Nice Day,” and what appeared to be the closer, one of their biggest hits, “Livin’ On A Prayer.”As the band finished the last song, they said their farewells, but a huge “come back, one more song” was cheered and they played their final song “Always.” The band once again said their farewells and the lights went up. Jason Aldean born Jason Aldine Wil- liams is from Macon, Georgia. He per- formed at VFW Halls as a kid and later at clubs and other private places. Today he has a successful career as a solo artist. In 2010, he released his double platinum-certified album “My Kinda Party” and the singles “My Kinda Party,” “Tattoos On This Town,” “Fly Over States,” “Don’t You Want To Stay (duet with Kelly Clarkson)” and “Dirt Road Anthem” shifted his career into high gear. The duet with Kelly Clarkson is currently the all- time leader in digital downloads and the single was certified double platinum. He won the Top New Vocalist Award at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2006. He recently won 2012 American Country Awards' Touring Artist Of The- Year. Aldean made his mark in country music by mixing rock elements into his records. He has nine songs that have topped the charts and seven others that have reached the top 10. Among his 17 released songs, six have been certified gold; two of them were platinum, two singles were double platinum, and one has been triple platinum. His current tour is named after his recent album, “Night Train.” The album is certi- fied platinum and has released three songs: “Take A Little Ride,” “The Only Way I Know (with Luke Bryan and Eric Church)” were number one hits and the current song, “1994” is a tribute to fellow country artist Joe Diffie. Other songs that could be re- leased include: “This Nothin Town”, “When She Says Baby,” “Feel That Again,” and “Night Train.” Aldean’s opening acts for his Night Train Tour include 2013 ACM Entertainer Of The Year Luke Bryan, Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett. 2013 seems to be the year of sequels, remakes and the con- tinuations of series. From the horror fan to the preschool Light- ning McQueen disciple, the upcoming year will be thrilling for movie viewers. The second installment in Peter Jack- son’s movie trilogy, “The Desolation of Smaug” sets off where “An Unexpected Journey” left off. Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves have successfully escaped the Misty Mountains and slain the Great Gob- lin. Bilbo now yields the One Ring, oblivi- ous to its dark power. The company will now continue their trek to the Lonely Mountain to regain their gold and wealth from the greedy dragon Smaug. The company must seek the aid of a stranger before enter- ing the mysterious and unknown forests of Mirkwood, and will part from their wizard friend Gandalf. Will the company make it to the Lonely Mountain, and if so, how will they conquer Smaug? Why is Gandalf leav- ing the company in such a critical time? These questions will be answered once “The Desolation of Smaug” hits theaters in December this year (I know, that seems like forever, but it will come!).

The Century Link Center in Omaha has been the go-to place for concerts and Omaha area sports teams like the Creighton Blue Jays and the UNO Mavericks. In the month of April, the arena will be welcom-ing one of country music’s biggest stars, Jason Aldean and the rock band Bon Jovi.

Bon Jovi performed at the CenturyLink Center on April 8. A large crowd came out to enjoy one of the best touring bands in history on a Monday night. Band member Richie Sambora, the lead guitarist, decided to withdraw from the current leg of the “Because We Can Tour” citing personal is-sues. He was replaced by Phil X and made

Teenagers Enjoy Saturday Nights at the Latino ClubViridiana Lara

SCHS held prom on April 20 this year. Like any other school, the subject was talked about for weeks, even months, be-fore the night actually arrived. The din-ner, the dress, the date, the dance; they’re all part of the prom night experience. It has always been a very exciting time for teenagers, but is the student body’s inter-est in prom on the decline? The truth seems to be that prom just isn’t as popular as it used to be.
