www.highlandcleaners.com Illustration by Carrie Neumayer JUST SAYIN' or Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose," which the band continues to play today. Now, though, timeouts are given over to the speedof-light dance moves of the glitzy, swarming Ladybirds, to T-shirt tossing and video-screen commercial "quizzes," and to blasting techno selections like the hyper-energetic "Sandstorm" (with audience-participation dancing) or the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" or the occasional Rolling Stones song, pumped through a monstrous sound system. An old-school stick-in-the-mud, I used to dislike the scale of the ostentation. But, you know, at seven o'clock on a dreary Tuesday night, after a long, laborious day at work, approaching the Yum! Center, with its big windows and bright lights and crowds moving in the lobby and up the escalators, is like receiving a B-12 shot in the butt. Instant energy. So bring on the dry ice and spotlights and synthesizer jump music! Bring on the sassy legions of Ladybirds! Bring on the full-court press, Rick! And bring on the exclamation points! I'm pumped! — Jack Welch www.shalimarlouisville.com 12.13 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 23
