The controversy over beer at the Green Hill Golf Course feels as stale and skunked as a sun-drenched Coors Light, yet here we go again.
It’s an odd situation, if only because it’s not often that city officials are the ones advocating for more booze. But this Thursday, City Manager Michael O’Brien will continue his administration’s quest for booze at the course, and go before the License Commission to request a two-day license (with Gus Giordano) for a golf tournament on the greens.
The move should come as no surprise. Exactly two years ago, Public Works Commissioner Robert Moylan announced the city’s plans to go after a two-day license for the Walter Cosgrove Annual Golf Tournament, and approval ...

If something feels naggingly familiar about What Happens In Vegas ..., it’s probably because it’s the exact same film as Knocked Up, except that instead of a baby there’s a grand prize of $3 million holding the hapless couple together.
Since you’ve already seen Judd Apatow’s superior version of this story, and the trailer gives away all the pertinent plot points, I will spare you detailed descriptions. You already know that Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz get drunk and hitched during a wild Vegas spree that runs like an extended ad for Foxwoods. The next morning he puts a quarter in a slot ...
Pianist Elliott Steger and the internal medicine of music
By Chet Williamson
During the day he is a doctor of internal medicine. In his other life, Dr. Elliott Steger is an accomplished composer and concert jazz pianist with five CDs of original music to his credit.
The operative word is “practice” in serving two disciplines. Steger not only finds the time to attend to each, he offers one in service of the other. All proceeds from his recordings go to the American Cancer Society, Alzheimer’s Association and Multiple Sclerosis Society. The good doctor performs with his band this weekend at Tower Hill Botanic Garden and all of his CDs will be available at the show for $10.
The fiddle was one of the first rock instruments, maintains EJ Oullette.
The fiddle, he continues, is the beat. “A rhythm instrument,” he says, “it connects seamlessly with any back beat. Putting a rock beat to fiddle tunes revs them up.”
So Oullette, an accomplished fiddle player, sees nothing wrong with marrying his instrument with a rock sound. In fact, the sound is rather saucy and bold. Introducing Rock the Bow 5.0, it’s his debut album for EJ Oullette and Crazy Maggy. It’s a 15-song mix of rock, R&B, ska and jazz adorned with a commanding fiddle and horn section that would easily get Papelbon stepping.
