So where are we gonna go? I'm on it." She needn't worry. Thanks to Almost Famous, Lane--and the music she loved--will live forever in their prime...

Even if a physician ultimately diagnoses Alzheimer's disease--which is done by eliminating other possibilities rather than by a direct test, because none is available other than a brain biopsy--the news needn't be as bleak as it once might have seemed...
