Rock Candy

We were reminded this morning that the Little Rock party and music scene is going to get a boost starting May 5 when the Peabody Hotel’s RiverTop Party returns.

That’s what we’re hearing today, that Prince’s old buddy Morris Day and the Time band, which played Riverfest back in 2000 or thereabouts with raindrops pounding on everyone, including Morris Day, on that last night of a great festival, will be back this year to rock the house, or the riverfront, or however you want to put it.

Yes, we know there are some of you Bruce fans out there, besides the usual suspects of John Brummett, Michael Marion, Kelley Bass, Tom Wood, Tim Taylor and Chuck Spohn (are we forgetting any of the regulars?).

The “Night Shift” of Marvin, Jackie et al. now has one of the Pointer Sisters join ’em.

AmyB checks in where where you need to be tonight, after the jump:

Like the other, improving Arkansas Times blogs, welcome to our new location for Little Rocking.

You have been reading the newspapers, message boards and listening to talk radio just like us.

Movies in the Park keeps dealing with the vagarities of springtime weather, as last week’s scheduled showing of “Jurassic Park” has been moved to tonight at Riverfest Amphitheatre.
