...York City's Personal Touch Limousine advertises a range of "exotic and specialty vehicles." Michael, a Personal Touch representative, recommended the 1998 stretch Lincoln Navigator, an elongated version of Lincoln's renowned Sports Utility Vehicle. The company's pride and joy, it holds 22 people and measures roughly 43 feet long. According to Michael, the Navigator is particularly popular among New York's "Latin musicians."

...Datamatch is one thing. It's a lame version of MTV's Singled Out, really. You tell the computer matchmaker about yourself.

Joakim Berg, Kent's singer and songwriter, strutted around the stage doing a Swedish version of the funky chicken, which involved puffing out his chest, slapping it with one palm and draping the microphone cord around his neck. Berg clearly enjoyed playing to a receptive, albeit unknown, crowd. Not one to miss a chance to connect with the audience, he dedicated the song "Elvis" to an enthusiastic fan who was wearing an enormous pair of ski goggles. Kent is an incredibly talented, charismatic band-hopefully they are only tasting the beginning of their overseas success...
