The Cars: The 50,000 Mile Tune Up

It's not enough that the 33-year-old native of the Brooklyn-Queens-Massaqequa, Long Island, triangle changed his name from Elliot Steinberg ("Not," he hastens to add, "Shapiro") to Easton. No. Rabid Cars fans are actually scouring hotel registers to track down the affable guitarist. The mind boggles.
