...nuggests of praise for the new release, Hanley never comes across as obnoxious or self-absorbed. An easygoing, conversational tone stamps out any question of pop rock pretentiousness--she is a normal person unaffected in her personal life by widespread radio airplay.

...spinning so fast my eye couldn't follow it, but the inside was rotating almost lazily. I could see a thousand feet up inside it. Tiny fingers of lightning lined the hollow tube. The tornado grew until it covered three-quarters of the sky, then slammed into the gravel 30 yds. away, bounced across the lake and tore up some trees. Drenched and pelted by golf ball-size hailstones, I ran for my truck. By the time I reached it, there was only a gentle drizzle falling, and the birds were singing. DENNIS MCCOWN Austin, Texas...
