...summer of '57 was a blistering time for primal rock 'n roll. At a million places like South Jersey's Avalon Ballroom (admission: 25 cents), kids worked up a sweet sweat jitterbugging to Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin," Elvis' "All Shook Up," Ray Charles's "Talkin' 'Bout You," the Crickets' "That'll Be the Day," Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly," the Coasters' "Searchin'," Buddy Knox's "Party Doll," Ricky Nelson's "Be Bop Baby," Fats Domino's "I'm Walkin'," the Everly Brothers' "Bye Bye Love," the Diamonds' "Little Darlin'," the Dell Vikings' "Come Go with...
...other stuff his own. And though he kept recording and refining his style, it must have galled him that some of his later, minor singles were remakes of songs by his old rivals and traveling companions: Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly," Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie" and "Sweet Little Sixteen." Yet Lewis was not one to hide; if the gigs paid a few hundred dollars instead of the thousand he once earned, he was man enough to show up.

The gain prompted the Scheid's to stop sulking over their sunken stocks and focus on building...
When krispy kreme opens a new store, it's a ritual for ravenous fans - lured by mouth-wateringly positive coverage by local media - to camp out a night or two beforehand, the better to ensure they'll be able to grab a few dozen. Sweet-toothed America loves the company's hot, glazed doughnuts made fresh on the premises. And Wall Street has developed a taste for them too. Krispy Kreme stock has more than tripled since going public in April 2000, fueled by rapid growth and strong sales. And Krispy Kreme has only scratched the surface...
...media may consider a new doughnut shop in town as something less than newsworthy. "In Europe they may not have people sleeping in the streets waiting for the stores to open," says Kathleen Heaney, an analyst at Brean Murray & Co. And unlike Americans, who enjoy starting the day with sweet cakes, Europeans' breakfast tastes tend toward the savory. After all, a British breakfast tradition is a kipper, a smoked herring. Waugh insists it's wrong to consider Krispy Kreme doughnuts merely a morningtime food. "That's the great thing about our product, they can be eaten throughout...
