Quick Takes: ‘Quadrophenia’ live

The Who will embark on the group’s first North American tour in four years this fall with an arena presentation of the 1973 rock opera “Quadrophenia” in its entirety.

The venerable British band, fronted by surviving original members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, also promises to survey other hits from the group’s career on the new tour that opens Nov. 1 in Sunrise, Fla., and concludes Feb. 26 in Providence, R.I., with Southern California stops on Jan. 28 in Anaheim, Jan. 30 in Los Angeles and Feb. 5 in San Diego.

Townshend and Daltrey will be joined by bassist Pino Palladino, who joined the band after John Entwistle died in 2002, and drummer Zak Starkey, who joined the lineup in the 1990s. Original drummer Keith Moon died in 1978.

Lohan to star in ‘The Canyons’

Amid ongoing legal issues, a recent car crash and a run-in with paramedics, Lindsay Lohan has secured her next movie role.

Producer Braxton Pope said Lohan will star in “The Canyons,” a film by “Less Than Zero” author Bret Easton Ellis about sex and ambition among twentysomethings in Los Angeles. Paul Schrader, who wrote “Taxi Driver” and directed “American Gigolo,” is set to direct the film.

Lohan, 26, recently completed work on the Lifetime movie “Liz & Dick,” in which she played Elizabeth Taylor. During that production, she crashed her Porsche into a dump truck and a week later was treated by paramedics for exhaustion and dehydration.

E-books increase market share

Yes, e-books and novels for young people are hot.

Sales of e-books more than doubled from 2010 to 2011, according to a survey of nearly 2,000 publishers released Wednesday. E-books jumped from 6% of the market to 15%, and e-revenue for new adult fiction is now higher than the revenue for hardcovers.

Sales for books overall dropped 2.5% to $27.2 billion and even more, 12.6%, at physical stores, thanks in part to the fall of the Borders superstore chain. But revenue for children’s/young adult fiction increased 12%.

The survey was compiled by the Book Industry Study Group, a research organization, and the Assn. of American Publishers.
