HOLD THE FRIES Steering-wheel dining is as American as, well, apple pie a la road. One out of 10 restaurant meals and 1 out of 5 fast-food meals are now eaten in a car. The dashboard favorite: a hamburger for lunch...

...Here Now finds the band once again aping the Beatles. One song, Magic Pie, has a title that echoes the name of Paul McCartney's last solo release, Flaming Pie; on another, the frenetic My Big Mouth, Liam sings of going "down the long and winding road."

As Helms and Albright toured a bit of North Carolina together, they looked like an old couple trying to find a nice place to retire...
