What's Olivia Doing in Lancaster County?
By The Associated Press
Q. What was pop singer Olivia Newton-John doing in Lancaster County recently?
A. The pixieish thrush who has sold more than 100 million records since arriving on the scene back in 1971 is currently romping across the country on her “Let’s Get Physical” concert tour.
Insiders say the 33-year-old Australian-born idol was in Lancaster to meet with Clair Brothers Audio Enterprises of Lititz. With her entourage, Olivia checked into Lancaster’s Treadway Resort Inn and took over six rooms at the hotel for one night.
The next morning, the hotel restaurant closed to other patrons while she and her crew ate breakfast.
Reportedly, a cyclone of controversy has swirled around Olivia’s vampy new image. Once a down-home gal with a daisy in her hair, she now comes on stage in wet t-shirts, tennis togs and headband. It’s been reported that the “Physical” single has been banned in South Africa for its “risqué language.” “That”, Olivia says, “is really funny.”
