Stephen Prina: As He Remembered It Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until August 4
Stephen Prina's show at LACMA, called "As He Remembered It," is full of built-ins -- built-in bookshelves, closets, cabinets, counters.

It's easy to make fun of The Rolling Stones -- a karaoke-addled Mick Jagger even got in on the act last season on Saturday Night Live -- but the not-always-convenient truth is that Jagger and Keith Richards continue to write great songs, including the punchy new stiff-upper-lipper "Doom &...
