New Law To Allow Doorless Driving In Pennsylvania
Do you own a Jeep, Bronco, or other on-the-road vehicle that allows the doors to come off? I have never owned such a vehicle, but I bet those who do, love that feature. One of my brothers has owned several Jeeps, and while I've only ridden with him once with the doors off, it was a fun adventure. It's hard to describe the adventure of riding in a vehicle without doors, but if you have, you know what I'm talking about.

Elvis Costello and Daryl Hall at Radio City: Review and Set List
Elvis Costello and Daryl Hall's joint tour came to New York City on Tuesday night, specifically to the showplace of the nation, Radio City Music Hall. For those scratching their heads after hearing those two names together — this writer included when she initially heard it several months ago — there is a history. Four decades ago, Hall contributed harmony vocals to one of Costello's albums, 1984's Goodbye Cruel World, on a song called "The Only Flame in Town." (Hall also appeared in the accompanying music video. From Costello's album liner notes: "Naturally, my romantic rival was Daryl, but my only real humiliation was in having a Columbia promotion woman hector the makeup girl: 'Make him look handsome,' while a very hungover Daryl sat in the next chair looking like a movie star. His hair was perfect.")
