...considered one of his best songs, Needles and Pins. During that period he met Cherilyn Sarkisian, then 16 years old. The two married in 1964, and beginning with the sweetly simple love song I Got You Babe, recorded just a few months after they exchanged vows, Bono created a stream of hits for the duo. By the end of 1967, Sonny & Cher had sold 40 million records worldwide and become rock's "it" couple...
...many ways, not about the art, and, not surprisingly, most Angelenos don't seem to care. No matter how long the lines and how mediocre the art viewing in these first overcrowded months, the people of the Southland, and really from all over the world, will continue to stream to the museum. The new Getty Center is a quintessential piece of Los Angeles, replete with grandeur and extravagance. It is the Disneyland of art museums, the Universal Studios of views and thrills and promises to be the trendy destination in America's favorite trendy metropolis...

She is in about as specialized a business as exists: creating artificial environments, including the synthetic palms at the Mirage in Las Vegas. It is a business, however, that has taken off worldwide in the past decade or so. As more and more states and localities...
...look past all of the potential p.c. faux pas and can interpret Keillor to be wistful rather than patronizing, the novel's heart truly comes through. "The stream of insults that life directs at you cannot be vanquished by skill or cunning," John comments. "You can't fight your way clear. You can't outsmart life. The only answer is to be loved so that nothing else matters so much." Such honest, simple wisdom can rarely be argued with. Keillor may preach and he may be politically biased, but the man is still talented, hilarious, and a damn good story...
