The Temecula Wilburys showtribute is paid to one of the greatest collaborations ever seen in rock music. I mean, think about it......Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and of course Roy Orbison. If you are over 50, you spent quite a few years of your life listening and grooving to the great music created and performed by these gentlemen. The Temecula Wilburys show "book-ends" the show with songs from the wilburys grammy award winning first album. In between those "book ends" we fill the show with "sub-sets' of each of the artists.

Anarchy. Ambition. Peacocks. Who was Hunter S. Thompson? He changed journalism. He defined counterculture. Equal parts philosopher, clown and genius, he was armed and dangerous with a typewriter as his preferred weapon. Careening from the 1940s to his death in 2005, this gonzo musical blasts into the life of one of America’s most influential and destructive icons. In relentless pursuit of the meaning of the American Dream during an era of political and social upheaval, Hunter S. Thompson cultivated a new form of journalism that ― for better or worse ― injected his subjective view into the heart of the story. Now, in another, even more severe moment of fake news, propaganda and polarization, Hunter’s story helps explore how we got here, and how to keep fighting. Set to Joe Iconis’ anarchic and tuneful score, this musical is a rock ‘n’ roll portrait of an artist seeking greatness and coming to terms with his own legacy. It’s a heartfelt trumpet call to the moral idealists, the outraged, the outlaws and the outsiders.\ Showtimes: lajollaplayhouse.org For more information visit: lajollaplayhouse.org

On Wednesday, September 28, San Diego Mesa College will hold a reception for "In Lak’ech: Tu eres mi otro yo," featuring artworks by Maria de Los Angeles and Ryan Bonilla. The Reception will be held from 4-7 p.m., in the Mesa College Art Gallery (FA-103). "In Lak’ech: Tu eres me otro yo" (You are my other me) invokes a Mayan concept popularized by Chicano playwright Luis Valdez. This affirmation reflects a philosophy of caring and connecting with the human spirit of one another. This idea sets the tone for this two-person exhibit at the San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month. Through evocative paintings, wearable dress sculptures and drawings, artist Maria de Los Angeles – a former Dreamer and community college student, who is now a Professor at Yale University - connects with America’s multiple selves: those of the immigrant, the refugee, the undocumented, the indigenous. She questions and breaks down racist stereotypes and tackles otherness and the concept of belonging. Sharing the space, Ryan Bonilla’s monotype prints and Polaroid installation titled “We are Misfits” are a celebration of alternative culture. Exhibition runs through October 13.
