We laughed, we cried, it was better than ‘Cats’!
Credit: Brad Gregg “A winner.” “Inspired.” “Thrilling.” “Masterful.” “Stunning.” You get the idea. For more rapturous adjectives, talk to Wayne Coyne’s publicist.

They like us! They really like us!
Credit: Brad Gregg Chicken-Fried News isn’t certain we agree, since we’re mighty fond of a 1984 Psychology Today story on the duality of the human psyche as reflected by Butch and Ben McCain, but the Times piece was unequivocally a lovely paean to our hometown.
