Blues Traveler tours constantly, and when it performs, it can breathe bright life into its songs. Of course, it also has the bad habit of jamming and soloing the stuffing out of them. Straight On Till Morning includes an unfortunate number called Psycho Joe (Goes to the Electric Chair). "He worshiped Satan/ And liked Iron Maiden," run the lyrics. The prospect of listening to an extended version of that, live at Madison Square Garden, is deeply dispiriting...
...because of reports that a New York store was selling it to minors. The product, essentially a Slurpee with 6 percent alcohol content, sells for about a dollar and is packaged in brightly-lettered soft plastic pouches. St. Ides president Minott Wessinger denied the product was developed with any Joe Camel-like intentions.

...citizens can stand down and breathe a sigh of relief," police Chief Richard Barreto proclaimed today. "The reign of terror brought upon us by Andrew Cunanan is over."

He ran into trouble in the third, giving up a run, and again in the fifth, when he gave up another run and walked two batters to load the bases. That necessitated a conference...
...saying goodbye to his messenger. TOM BLANK, who became the Speaker's director of communications in February and was assigned the Sisyphean task of lifting Gingrich's approval ratings, will return to the private sector by August. G.O.P. leadership sources tell TIME the shake-up was engineered by JOE GAYLORD, an outside adviser to Gingrich whose power has been a constant source of friction on the Speaker's staff and in high G.O.P. circles. "Gaylord is the immovable object in Newt's life," says an aide to a top House Republican. "Tom never had a chance." In what...
