Sade’s latest trip to Atlanta has been a long time coming, ten years in fact. Not many artists can go into hiding for a decade only to popup like a proverbial groundhog and sell out shows nationwide.

In the time since Continuum was released, John Mayer has been better known for the hot ass he's sporting on his arm at any given moment more so than the music he's generating. Seriously, its like he's in some sort of insane competition with Derek Jeter and Justin Timberlake to see who can bag the
