...Friends" darling Jennifer Aniston plays Kate Mosley, a bright and talented advertising exec who can't seem to get the promotion she deserves or the man she wants. The reason for both of these frustrations is one and the same, and seemingly beyond her powers of control: her boss won't promote her unless she's tied down, financially and maritally, for fear she might abandon ship. And the man of her choice, fellow advertiser Sam (Kevin Bacon), only goes for forbidden fruit--women who are already spoken...

...owned in my Iowa hometown of Greenfield (pop. 2,074). After 108 years, its glorious Wednesday-night baritone was not to be heard. No more would it summon folks to come and read how kids' crepe-paper birthdays rivaled royal cotillions, or how the class dullard shone like a bright star...

There were bowls of dark red cherries and bright nectarines, boxes of pastries and muffins, bagels and lox, fresh blended fruit smoothies. Then came the mid-morning snack--perhaps shrimp cocktail, buffalo wings, fried jalapenos, mozzarella, basil and roasted pepper sandwiches. And that was all before lunch...

Blues Traveler tours constantly, and when it performs, it can breathe bright life into its songs. Of course, it also has the bad habit of jamming and soloing the stuffing out of them. Straight On Till Morning includes an unfortunate number called Psycho Joe (Goes to the Electric Chair). "He worshiped Satan/ And liked Iron Maiden," run the lyrics. The prospect of listening to an extended version of that, live at Madison Square Garden, is deeply dispiriting...
