...three of his sons (all played by Daniel Craig). We are in the near future - say, the middle of this century. Thirty-some years before, Salter's wife had died and he was left to raise his four-year-old son Bernard, who had begun life as an angel ("You were the most beautiful baby everyone said"). But the father was neglectful, sometimes brutal to the boy; Bernard grew wild, sick. In anger and cunning, Salter took advantage of the new technology and had his son cloned: cloned as a new baby, the precious Bernard before he was scarred...
...Angels, a young, happy-to-be-here team, are putting up a "Barry Who?" front, beginning with the littlest Angel, Rodriguez.

The first single, Life Goes On, is passable pop in which Rimes uses her considerable range to overcome dated slang like "daddy mack." The rest of the album is a catastrophe. The songs are poorly written hip-hop/pop hybrids with production so gaudy you'll yearn for the organic sound of a Cher record. And unless your name...
...Rumi invited his listener or reader to leave the yesses and nos of conventional belief behind, he did so as a card-carrying member of a culture that unquestioningly accepted Muhammad as the Seal of the Prophets, and the Koran as God's last word, dictated verbatim by the angel Gabriel...
