...Hooters-style hangout, enlists her for his film and promptly gets rolled by her in contract negotiations, is as sharp and modulated a satire of Hollywood hucksterism as anything this side of David Mamet. Unfortunately, the play doesn't quite know where to go after that. The focus shifts to Sheena's surly, pill-popping, wheelchair-bound mother, who is outraged (not very credibly) at her daughter's job on feminist grounds and vows to stop the production. Not a bad idea - turning Mom into a real-life counterpart of a horror-film stalker - but her character (at least...

...lyrical yet powerful riffs. “Fork in the Road” opens with “When Worlds Collide,” announced by sets of heavily distorted guitar chords, the garage-rock sound of which feels appropriate given the album’s focus on cars. Most of the songs feel like they should be played full-volume while driving with the sunroof down through deserted highways of the Mid-West, rocking some shades, all the while bobbing along to the rhythm. This playfulness comes through in Young’s lyrics as well. The album?...
