(Traffic) jammin' with Mariah
Watch this week for two big-name music acts to host local jam sessions - the traffic variety, not the guitar kind. Pop diva Mariah Carey and the aggressive rap-metal band Rage Against the Machine will both participate in an old-fashioned rock tradition this week by visiting Sunset Strip record stores to sign autographs, hype their new albums and press the flesh with fans. Rage visits the Virgin Megastore (8000 Sunset Blvd.) on Saturday at 3 p.m., while Carey hits Tower Records (8801 Sunset Blvd.) on Friday at 7 p.m. Expect two sizable - and exceptionally disparate - crowds to show up for the events, and don't be surprised to see store managers hiding a smirk if the crush of fans clogs traffic or creates other minor havoc in the already congested district.
