Does New Year’s Eve Still Rock?

What New Year’s Eve 2006 meant…and didn’t mean to performers and revelers around the globe.

"In the entertainment industry, there’s a sense that Americans soured on
the New Year’s experience on the night 1999 became 2000. Reverberations
of that millennium year, beset by hype, high prices for shows and
half-filled concert halls, are still being felt. That’s why fewer big
acts are booked for this Sunday, and why Las Vegas is mounting a free
James Bond-themed fireworks extravaganza, rather than bringing in
pricey headliners." (AP via Celebrity Access)
