...most of her youth, she wanted to be a concert pianist; she still practices for an hour a day and gives recitals on the Stanford campus. But after entering the University of Denver at age 15 (she skipped two grades in school), her professional music prospects dimmed, and she began to feel "an inexplicable pull toward the study of Russia and communism and Eastern Europe...
...which men dressed as cops danced and kissed each other. Now the officer of the peace has declared war, filing a $10 million lawsuit against the singer for slander, mental anguish and emotional and physical distress. At a news conference held in London last week to promote NetAid, a concert to benefit Kosovo refugees, Michael called the suit a "minor irritation" and promised tabloid reporters he'd speak with each of them personally on any topic if they gave the conference adequate coverage.

...Newly remodeled! Avalon is a concert club (They Might Be Giants, the Beta Band, Cheap Trick, Guided By Voices, and Edwin McCain have played there) and a dance club all rolled into one.

Not surprisingly, the crowds at the Fleet Center are equally diverse, anything from screaming teenyboppers (and their reluctant parents/chaperones), to those looking to relive the past and those just looking for a good time...
...Paradise is open only when there is a show and is satisfactorily equipped as a concert venue. Enough space to mosh and shove as you see fit (ask Drew Bledsoe), but the lines can go on for a while outside. It generally sees those softly cool, safely Top-40 groups that served their time in the Middle East the last three times they came to Boston. September has already seen Better than Ezra, Sixpence None the Richer and Gomez. More of such to come...
