Allman Brothers. 20,000 tickets. I four hours. And half the band is dead. I never even saw an ad, for Chrissake, and I'm still not sure whether this thing is for real or not. The Brothers are starting a metamorphosis into the kind of cult phenomenon the Dead have been for so long. Before this tour started, there were even rumors that the Dead and the Allmans would play a string of nine hour marathons across America. I think it's all too bad, because I genuinely love the Allman Brothers. I once got close enough to Dicky...
...enlist as a private, and though he never got beyond Camp Devens, the Army furnished him with at least one good war story. He recalls with a grin a fellow New Englander who could never resist a playful jab at the soldier-scholar.

Radio ad sales in Arbitron markets are forecast to rise 5.5% this year, to $14 billion, according to BIA Financial Network, a media consultancy in Chantilly, Va. Yet as more consumers tune to stations like Radioparadise, those numbers could slip. Goldsmith's thoughtful playlists are organized by musical theme, moving from, say, a bluesy Tracy Chapman tune...
...Because the DVD business is, in one important way, the opposite of the TV business. Traditional TV, which depends on ad and syndication sales, rewards breadth of appeal: the ability to keep millions from changing the channel. DVDS reward depth of appeal: the ability to get thousands to pay to watch something again. One reason there are so many cop dramas, for instance, is that their stories, which are resolved in an hour, sell better in reruns. Series like Alias and 24, which have deeply involving serial plots, are poor candidates for reruns, but they have committed fan bases willing...
