ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD: Catch a living rock legend (and recent Grammy nominee) live tonight at the Allstate Arena when Neil Young takes the stage. The cantankerous rocker is in town on his current plugged-in tour featuring fan favorites like "Hey Hey, My My" and "Cinnamon Girl." 8PM, $50-$250.
WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE? Witness more than 60 singing-and-dancing attorneys, judges and law students (plus a professional band, thank heavens) as the Chicago Bar Association presents "Christmas Spirits: Jury Boys," the 85th annual satirical revue of local and national politicians and the year's noteworthy events (what rhymes with Obama?). At the Merle Reskin Theatre, 8PM, $60.
