Were you Defying Gravity with Keith Urban last night at Save Mart Center? We'd like to hear what your review of the show. How was the setlist? The crowd? Urban's showmanship? Was it better or worse than his previous Fresno stops? Did you dig opening act Sugarland?
Chime in on any of that and whatever else you'd like in the comments.

The NY Times is reporting that venerable television anchorman Walter Cronkite, 92,
has died.
In his heyday, Cronkite was known as the "most trusted man in America," something nearly impossible to understand now, when news is broken by TMZ.
CNN has posted the following video summing up the life of Mr. Cronkite. Condolences
to his family, friends and fans.

Today is Disneyland's 54th birthday.
It's not exactly a milestone, granted, but I'm going to be there next week and I want to take the opportunity to incite jealousy in the four people reading this blog who love Disneyland as much as I do.
I'll be spending the next few days reading various web sites, looking at photos, listening to music from the park, and watching YouTube videos, pretending I'm actually on the rides, and not at my computer. Here's a sampling of what I'm checking out in anticipation of next week's trip:
While you hope your face doesn't melt off
1. GET CHARMED: This Charming Band is back at Audie's on Saturday night. They love Fresno and Fresno loves them, as you can read in this Bee story. Should be a packed house, so if you love The Smiths or Morrissey, get out there.
Fresno's Jason Glover sailed through this week's "So You Think You Can Dance" competition, with fans apparently loving his contemporary dance about falling in love with a friend.
Jason was the first male contestant Thursday night to learn he was safe to dance another week. Jason's relief was apparent, he hooted in pleasure, seeming much more relaxed and optimistic than he has in previous weeks when he had to "dance for his life" to stay in the competition.
Ousted were Randi Evans, on the girls side, and Kupono Aweau, on the guy's side. The couple performed a paso doble routine Wednesday that drew harsh criticism from the judges.
Next week, Jason's partner will again be chosen out of a hat, so it's hard to know if he will be able to maintain the chemistry and strength he showed dancing with Jeanine Mason this week.
We spoke before on this here Beehive about how The Today Show loves the stories of the impaled. This morning, it was a dog that got impaled by a barbecue fork. As sad as that it, what the story actually accomplished was introducing us to the real-life version of Boomhauer from "King of the Hill." The guy starts out OK, but around the 1:10-mark everythingcomingoutofhismouthisjustonebigjumble. Just watch:
By comparison:
I almost fell off the treadmill from laughter this morning when I saw this stiletto race in Israel (it even made the sports reels). Check out the lady who hits the pavement at about 1:30.
In 1985, Ebony magazine commissioned a Chicago artist to depict what stars at the time might look like come the year 2000. In the case of Michael Jackson, I'd say he was pretty damn close:
