...MAGIC JOHNSON, whose famous friends and sweet nature couldn't make up for his dread of the camera, has been axed after nine weeks. He was good about it but still not funny.

Never mind, Magic, there's always...
...knows how. Buffett's empire rests on the beer-soaked foundation of shows like this one in Cincinnati. He presides over the ritual, a short, balding, joyful character charging around the stage, cracking wise and showing off an uncanny ability to sing, play guitar, smile and kick beachballs all at the same time.

A really top-notch performance inspires allegiance as nothing else can. But the way many singers and musicians today render the national anthem is an abomination. If I'm watching TV, I turn off the sound until the anthem is finished. DAVID M. BARTHOLOMEW Dundee...
...contrast, most of Cale's songs were much older, coming from his '70s albums. Despite their age, though, the songs were new to a large portion of the audience and a surprised murmur spread through the crowd as Cale sat before his keyboard and began to sing Elvis's "Heartbreak Hotel" to his own classical composition. As one of the best classically trained musicians ever to play rock, Cale excels in playing his compositions...
