No matter what you think of Sugar Ray, you’ve got to respect their choice of titles for their upcoming CD: Music for Cougars. You’ve also got to respect the band that’s been around since 1992 and has admitted it’s failed at trying to branch out and change their sound. In…

I walked into Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogie shop in Hollywood around 3 p.m. on a Saturday. I was expecting the place to be empty as not many rational people choose cheese steaks as their midafternoon snack. Sonny’s was most certainly not empty. About half of the tables were occupied and…
