THE UNION

There's a great new album by Elton John and Leon Russell, two piano-playing geezers from yesteryear. It's amazing. Now that the midterm elections are over (and Patty Murray finally beat Dino Rossi in an agonizingly slow vote count) we can put politics aside for a moment and celebrate with some good music. Besides, it's the weekend. Rolling Stone magazine gave the new album five stars, which is extremely rare, but once you fall into its grooves you'll know why. This is the best thing either fellow has done in thirty years. Check it out. Have a great weekend!
