Page 8 ‘Pony rides on by Joe Mottillo Entertainment editor When offered the chance to see Rusted Root two weeks ago, I jumped at the chance to go see them. When arriving at the arena outside of Buffalo, I was a bit skeptical of the opening act Who the hell is Bonepony? After hearing 3/4 of their set, I found out. This trio from Nashville is a mix of rock, country, bluegrass, and a little bit of church harmonies. I was so impressed that I went out and got their debut CD, "Stomp Revival." The album contains 13 tracks, the highlight of which is "Where the Water's Deep." This song has already received airplay on Rocket Horoscopes: Aries (March 21-Aprill9). Monday morning is your best time this week, so do as much as possible. Schedule your shopping for Tuesday and Wednesday. Those are also the best times to do math homework. Study on Thursday; you'll be very smart then. You're smart on Friday, too, but you'll probably be more interested in romance than schoolwork. Wrap up you socializing by Saturday afternoon, so you can finish a household project this weekend. Taurus (April 20-May 20). Monday morning could be hectic, but you should calm down by the afternoon. From then through Wednesday, you're lucky, but there's lots of work to be done. Expect difficulty finding the information you need.

Sherlocks is the place by Eddie Edwards Collegian Staff If you're in downtown Erie and you're stuck for something to do, I've found just the spot for you! It's Sherlock's/Park Place located 1820 North Park Road in downtown Erie, right across from Perry Square. Sherlock's/Park Place is a quaint little tavern that houses exciting entertainment and good times. It reminds you a lot of a "Cheers" (NBC sitcom) type atmosphere. The decor is that of yesteryear, sporting memorabilia from years gone by. All the staff and bartenders are very friendly and personable, which is an excellent compliment to the spectacular service. The clientele is college 101 and Pittsburgh's WDVE. Scott Johnson's lead vocals remind one of The Black Crowes' Chris Robinson. Johnson's voice range is good and is best exemplified on "P. 5.0.8." Johnson and the other two members, Kenny Mims and Bryan Ward, wrote all the lyrics and music for this album. Some other songs that really stick out on the album are "Poor Boy Blues," "Soap," and "Bleaker Street." Bonepony has been opening for Root as of late in support of "Stomp Revival" and tend to play a club a few nights before the Root show. I recommend that you buy the album and see them live, where they are even better. Consult an expert for an option you hadn't considered.
