It was disappointing to see Lennon patronized by an audience numbed by the nostalgia for his father...
Last Saturday night, during a visit to Washington, D.C., several friends and I were standing on a street corner deciding whether to walk to Ben & Jerry's in Georgetown or just buy a pint of ice cream at 7-11.
