      Rita: It’s natural for your life balanced with joys and woes. So after the woes of war, get yourself out and see a local band. It’s the best deal you can get on live entertainment. Here are some shows we recommend. THE DOOM BUGGIES’ CD release party is at Great Scott on Saturday, 11/3. *** Saturday, 11/10, is a benefit for STEPHEN FREDETTE (it’s also the Middle East 20th Anniversary Party) with HALLELUJAH THE HILLS headlining—and yes, it’s at the Middle East. *** Same night, same club, but downstairs, CHAUNCEY plays a reunion. *** On Saturday, 11/17, JOHN HOVORKA (x-Turbines)will be in town with his DAWN OF MECHANIZED FARMING at the Cantab. *** BEATLEJUICE plays all Beatles at Johnny D’s on Friday and Saturday, 11/23 & 11/24. *** On Friday, 11/30 the Cantab features a show with all female lead bands—APPLE BETTY, LIZ BORDEN BAND, GIRL ON TOP, and THE CELLO CHIX—and although he’s not female, T MAX will be there too with a medley from the show Why Do We Go To War? *** WILD ZERO celebrates the release of the new EP at O’Brien’s on Saturday 12/1. *** Same night THE SPRAINED ANKLES release their CD at the Abbey Lounge. *** After a whole lotta touring, MOBIUS BAND celebrates the release of Heaven at the Middle East Downstairs on Sunday, 12/2. *** The anti-war project that brought 44 of Boston finest singers together is releasing the End War Now DVD on Saturday, 12/8, at the Abbey Lounge.

      Rita: Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for winning the World Series. We want to thank them for a great season of entertainment. Big hugs and kisses to Papelbon, Lowell, Beckett, Ellsbury, Youkilis, Varitek, Ramirez, and Ortiz—okay, Kielty you too! Lolita: If you baseball heroes are looking for more than hugs and kisses, email me. And as for the rest of our readers—see you in December!  I love that song.
