LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- A concert by the Rev. Al Green to mark the 10th anniversary of the River Market district and the 60th birthday of Bill Clinton, whose presidential library is just down the street, has been postponed because of hot weather.

Green, 60, had been scheduled to perform Saturday night at the Riverfest Amphitheatre. The concert was rescheduled for October 27.

"It became clear to us that the summer heat was playing havoc with our event. Al Green was gracious enough to accommodate our new date," Jim Rice, chief operating officer of the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau, said Monday.

The bureau and the Clinton foundation are co-sponsors of the concert.

Temperatures have topped 100 degrees daily for much of the last four weeks and are predicted to be in the mid-90s on Saturday, which is Clinton's birthday.

Yeah, right. I'll bet it was canceled because they couldn't sell any tickets.
