Quote of the Day: A word from Darlene Love, who heads Off-Broadway tonight...
"I get such joy out of performing for people, and you can tell whether they like you or they don't like you the minute you walk out on the stage. And they don't even have to tell me that they had a good time. I know they had a good time."
-- Darlene Love (via BrainyQuote)
