Track 8: The Blues I'm pretty sure this is a song from some upcoming Broadway show: it's mostly just a piano and lots of emotive singing. Axl should totally be a Broadway singer. He's got the range and the histrionics. Picture Mandy Patinkin singing this: "So now I wander through my day/ Tried to find my way/ To the feelings that I felt/ I saved for you and no one else/ And though as long as this road seems/ I know it's called the street of dreams/ But that's not stardust on my feet/ that...
...American parents smothering their children? Hara Estroff Marano, an editor-at-large at Psychology Today magazine and the grandmother of three small children, is convinced that they are.

In between chemotherapy sessions, Letts made his Broadway debut in early December, sharing in the rave reviews. Less than three months later, he died. "Dad did eight shows a week until late January," says his son. "Then he went into the hospital for what...
Among the first and at the time tallest of New York City's signature skyscrapers when it was completed in 1902, the 22-story Flatiron, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue, Broadway and 23rd Street, is instantly recognizable for its triangular shape. Though it was dwarfed 30 years later by the Empire State Building, 11 blocks up Fifth Avenue, the Flatiron is a favorite of architecture buffs and a lasting star in the skyline, featured in the opening credits of the Late Show with David Letterman and serving as the fictional headquarters for the Daily Bugle in the recent Spider...
