Piercing Ken Thoughts: According to some research, the holiday smash single “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has been played almost 2 billion times. 2 BILLION TIMES!!!! That’s insane but when you consider just how much you hear it when the holiday season begins it makes a lot of sense. Usually, the Christmas time vibe begins even before Thanksgiving happens and as you can see, Mariah’s holiday tour will begin right after November begins. I’ve never caught her Christmas show but based on the videos I’ve seen it looks like a lot of holiday fun. Generally speaking my holiday concert experiences begin and end with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra whose tour I’ll be talking about over on PiercingMetal when they announce it. At the time of this writing the world is still awaiting those exciting details. So I must admit that I am curious about this show and it will be in my backyard for one of the events but I am not sure that I’d be looking into going. Generally around this time I am prepping to see the TSO and I’d hate to put in for Mariah’s event and have it fall on the same night as TSO which I cannot miss at all. I’ll wrap up now and ask you out there in the readership about what you think and if you’ve seen this show before chime in down below and let us know what you thought about it to inspire new attendees to join into the fun. Okay that’s enough holiday discussion, let’s get back to enjoying the rest of the Summer. Stay cool everyone.
