After combing numerous articles and books about the TV sitcom Alice, I don’t know why the lyrics to the theme song kept changing. My educated guess is simply that Lavin enjoyed singing, and back in the day, when TV theme songs were a big hook to draw an au...

There are tons of lessons in the song on how to lead a better life – basic, sure, but still good ones. Follow these, and it’s hard to argue that your life won’t improve. Here they are: 1. Get a good...
