Riding in on a dark desert highway and cool wind in his now slightly thinner hair, the former Eagle who wrote the music to one of Rock’N’Roll’s most iconic songs — “Hotel California” — is swooping into Casino Arizona at Talking Stick Resort for a concert 8 p.m. Friday.

For many college kids, the dorms are home for all four years, and they’re happy campers. But for many others, the opportunity to move off-campus, into an apartment or house, is a welcome lifestyle change.

If you could be anyone, who would you be? When life gets you feeling low or up against the wall and wishing things were different, whose face would you wish looked back at you in the mirror?

A Brief History of Weddings: In the beginning, there were People, who realized fairly quickly they wanted to invent The Couple. Five minutes after The Couple hit the scene, someone dreamed up Flash Mob Marriage Proposals. At which point, The Bride became a foregone conclusion.

MIAMI — Peyton Manning barks out the name of the play: "TRIPS RIGHT 255 X BLOCK SLANT H DISCO ALERT 12 TRAP." The Colts pivot into position. He starts to call signals for the hike. No, wait! The NFL's best quarterback spots something he doesn't like. Maybe a linebacker set to blitz from the blind side. Or a cornerback sneaking up. "Blue 15! Blue 15!" he hollers. Now begins the Peyton Shuffle. Shouting. Stomping. Waving his arms like a marionette gone mad. Choreographed chaos, really. Manning in motion.
