Red Sox to take on
Buffet’s Parrotheads
in Fenway Park
BOSTON (AP) — First they
hosted “The Boss.” Now the
owners of the Boston Red Sox
are hoping for a siege of
“Parrotheads” at Fenway Park.
Team officials have applied
to the city for entertainment
licenses to stage Jimmy Buffett
concerts on Sept. 10 and 12.
It would be the second big act
to play Fenway in a year after
Bruce Springsteen’s shows last
summer, the first rock concerts
in the venerable park’s history.
Mayor Thomas Menino, a
Buffet fan, said there’s no rea
son the show shouldn’t go on,
and said he wants to convert a
neighborhood parking lot the
Red Sdx own into an all-day
party spot for Parrotheads, as
Buffett fans are called.
“They can come together and
have their trailers and their par
ties, and they won't be on the
streets,” Menino said. “It will
be ‘Parrothead Village.’”
Some neighbors who com
plained about noise and vandal
ism during Springsteen’s two
concerts were angry about the
Buffett plans.
“When we supported it last
year, we supported it as a ok
time special event,” said 1
Richardson, president oft;
Fenway Civic Association,"!;
don’t think that Fenway Pari
an appropriate place foraify
lar concert venue. It throwsi
kink into the whole stadiuir
neighborhood dynamic.” |
Councilor Michael P. Rk
who represents the Fenway air
Kenmore neighborhoods, ;e;
steps must be taken tominiit
traffic and noise.
“The Red Sox tend to a-;
about their reputation infe
neighborhood,” Ross saidp
goes off perfectly, this couldk
something people are willing!,
consider in subsequent years,"
Red Sox senior vice presi
dent Larry Cancro said conces
at Fenway could be a year!:
event.
“It’s not the kind of tfe
we’d do every weekend; maytt
we could do it once a year,
Cancro said. “The majority cl
the people are going to lx
pleased and come out withasil
nation that’s going to help tic
overall neighborhood fed
good.”
PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Maine officials hope newest King
miniseries will attract tourists
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — Officials in Maine’s
second-largest city hope an upcoming Stephen
King miniseries about a haunted hospital will
bring an influx of tourists eager to visit the
places portrayed in the show.
“This is the type of publicity that the city could
never afford to buy,” Lewiston Mayor Lionel
Guay said. “This is going to be national.”
The 15-hour “Kingdom Hospital,” which begins king
Wednesday night on ABC, was shot in
Vancouver, British Columbia, but is set in Lewiston.
ABC has been promoting “Kingdom Hospital” for weeks; a
book, “The Journals of Eleanor Druse,” accompanies\be series
and is based on a character played by Diane Ladd. The network
also has built a corporate-style Web site, www.kingdomhospi
talofmaine.com, to represent the fictitious hospital.
The narrative begins when a man is struck by a van on a rural
road and taken to the Lewiston hospital for care.
It’s is inspired by a Danish miniseries, “The Kingdom,” by Lars
von Trier. King adapted it, loosely basing some events on hisom
1999 accident, in which a van struck him while he was walking
along a roadside. Much of his recovery took place at Central
Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
Churches in Gibson's town hold services
after 'Passion of The Christ' viewing
GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) —Two churches in
Mel Gibson’s town held services beneath the
big screen after seeing his new movie, “The
Passion of the Christ.”
More than 400 members of Trinity Church and
Stanwich Congregational Church crowded into
a theater for a Sunday afternoon screening. A
small white crucifix was set up beneath the gibson
movie screen.
“After the film there will be a time of reflection,” said Ian Cron-
Trinity’s senior pastor. “It will be a chance for us just to sit into
afterglow of the film, if you will."
Gibson, who funded, directed and co-wrote the movie, livesi
the Connecticut town.
The movie, which depicts the crucifixion of Jesus, opened#
$125.2 million in box office sales over five days. The total pusliei
“The Passion” past “The Lord of the Rings: The Return oift
King” ($124.1 million) for biggest debut ever by a film opening^
a Wednesday — Ash Wednesday, in this case.
After the film in Greenwich, a guitarist and violinist played as
the Rev. Neely Towe, pastor of Stanwich Congregational Churci
blessed the Eucharist.
“He was crushed by our iniquities,” Towe said during the bless
ing. Several hundred parishioners came forward to receive ft
Eucharist, crowding the aisles and forming a line that stretcift
to the back of the theater.
“It was an exquisitely crafted film but was also surroundedbys
sense of the sacred,” Cron said. “I think it was very powerful!!
see it as a community of faith.”
