Old Orchard Beach is like church. Many attend, but few understand.
It's a truth locals have always known. Someone even went so far as to write it on a slice of scrap paper, put it under frame (along with other thought-provoking "Thoughts of the Day") and hang it up in the restroom at Beach Bagels Cafe in Old Orchard Beach.

Next month, Marshall Crenshaw will mark his 30th anniversary as a recording artist with a pair of shows at New York's City Winery. At each show, the power-pop singer-songwriter will perform his 1981 debut single, "Something's Gonna Happen," as well as his 1982 eponymous full-length debut in its entirety.

NEW YORK - You might say that Lady Gaga's year really began in an egg.
That's how she arrived at the Grammys in February, encased in a large, translucent pod carried by scantily clad dancers. When she "hatched" onstage, she effectively gave birth to "Born This Way," performing the eponymous lead single of her second studio album and anthem to self-acceptance.

The eponymous good stuff was the all-purpose term Jennifer Grant's father, Cary, used to describe all the nice things that make up what the French like to call "douceur de vie" - sweetness of life - and certainly her memory of life with this extraordinarily devoted father and unusually civil and civilized man is a lovely distillation of her halcyon childhood and youth.
In his essay "Culture and Anarchy," the great Victorian critic Matthew Arnold identified sweetness and light as the salient qualities of true culture always in search of perfection. So it is fitting that this fond memoir of this best of fathers, who was a true icon of the movies that formed an important part of the culture of his time, should be so suffused with those very qualities, that linger:
