If I Could Turn Back Time



After 25 albums that have sold more than 100 million copies, Cher is returning to her roots in Vegas to be one of the headline acts at Caesars Palace. I worked for a guy who was a fan of theirs back in the 60's when Sonny and Cher went by Caesar and Cleo.

She will begin a three-year, 200-show engagement May 6. "Cher at The Colosseum" is a 90-minute show scheduled to include hit songs from her career of more than 40 years, with choreography, costumes and special effects.

Cher will alternate performances at the 4,300-seat Colosseum with other headline acts Elton John (The Red Piano) and Bette Midler (The Showgirl Must Go On), filling the space of Celine Dion.

Ticket prices are from $95 to $250. I saw her in her "farewell" tour about 5 years ago at the Arrowhead Pond (home of the NHL Mighty Ducks) and now called the Honda Center. She, and the show, were effing awesome!!!

I saw Sonny and Cher at the Troy Armory back in 1965!

If I could turn back time, I'd stop Cher's parents from having sex...

Well Gavin, it's official. You are in fact, completely gay.

I think this is the point where I say congratulations and stick my tongue down your throat. Or something like that.

Yeah, baby. So much better than that Celine Dion crap they've had going on. (sorry, any celine fans..._

I think cb needs a hug.

I used to beg and plead and whine and moan to be allowed to stay up to watch the Sonny and Cher Show when I was a kid; I was all of five or six at the time.

And my mother still had the nerve to be shocked when I told her I was gay.
