Many now acting alone admit they got a leg up from a record company. "The only reason we could even get away with this," Radiohead's lead singer, Thom Yorke, said recently about selling its album directly to fans, "is that we've gone through the whole mill of the business in the first place...

Within years of European contact, Massachusetts’ aboriginal people were decimated by disease and then finished off by military action...

Take “My Medicine,” a JohnnyCash cover with strumming guitars thatare unafraid to admit they’re country: noirony here.
