With the children scattered, the Stanfields have been living quietly in Ottawa at Stornoway, the official residence of Canada's Opposition Leader. His favorite pastime is gardening ("It's good for the soul"), but Stanfield also enjoys the theater. When he saw Hair in Toronto a couple of years ago, he jumped up on the stage at the end of the show and danced with the cast...
...little bit of rape is good for a man's soul," announced Norman Mailer in a speech at the University of California at Berkeley.

Anyway, BBA is not the holding action Beck claims his two previous bands were. They are new to each other, though, and their Boston show Tuesday last opened with a vague feeling of indirection. The song was new, and, as a show opener, had a definite warm-up feeling to it, while making sure the audience recognized Beck's tendencies towards...
