  The
17th Annual Pollstar Awards
Lewis
Black was back and ranting for the fourth year in a row as the
host of the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards February 15th at
The Theatre At Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. “I love this gig,”
Black said of his yearly opportunity to commentate on the Zen-like
perfection that we all know as the “personal” appearance
business.
Special
