But when 5 million people buy an album, they can't all be outcasts. Some of them are going to be Rush Limbaugh fans who just like the beat. "I don't think all of these new fans know what they're listening to," says O'Shea. "I hope it's a short-term thing. I want my music back...
...itself was an attraction. Gliding by at 20 knots, the view is astonishing: the vast Hubbard and Columbia glaciers tumbling into the ocean, the green islands of the Inside Passage, the jagged, snowblown Chugach mountain range.

The fare on offer is more egalitarian. Kebabs, pizza and, of course, fried chicken...

It strikes me that an American psychic in New York City must regard it as a coup to be seen in public with an Indian customer like me - the same rush that a white basketball trainer would get if LeBron James stopped by for a lesson...
