# americana invades boston - rolling stones cameo
on the way home today, i got off the commuter rail at kenmore so i could walk to the green line and catch a free train closer to my house. well, it seems the rolling stones were playing their second show at fenway, and boy did people come out for it. on the platform at natick there was a guy who looked vaguely henry winklerish, and his 3 teenage sons. on the train were a bunch of wellesleyites, but i don't think they were making it to the stones. when i walked up to yawkey, and down brookline ave towards the green line, it was pretty crazy. the thing that got me the most was the amount of americana mixed in with the stones logo. that, and the pile of SUVs in the parking areas - concert parking $25....you paid $50 to fill up your mammoth sellout-mobile, why not pay $25 to park it to see the stones, in addition to the $150 ticket prices. it made me want to go out to see a local show tonight...one of those $7 deals (expensive) at o'briens or something.

# copy editor gets smacked.
From today's Daily News. Somewhere a copy editor in England is going to get a talking to, considering the way the last shuttle landing went.
