...general and Latin America in particular, I decided a T-shirt advertising my status as a VIP isn't a good fashion choice. Plus the T-shirt is way too small and feels like it was woven out of hair clippings swept up from the floor of my barber shop in New York. I always wondered what they did with that hair. Now I know...
Love hurts. Especially when your boyfriend's ex-wife drives her Volvo over your foot. That's what actress/singer/rock-icon-widow COURTNEY LOVE alleges in a lawsuit filed last month against Lesley Barber, a Los Angeles woman who was married to Love's current beau, Geffen Records executive JIM BARBER.

...20th century composers are Barber, Hindemith and Stravinsky. Barber's sonata and Hindemith's third sonata present formidable interpretive and technical challenges. Yet Wild--who learned Barber's thorny score, with its treacherous final fugue, for this recording (in his 80s!)--tears into them with a scintillating blend of rhythmic acuity, dynamic and coloristic shadings and sustained dramatic power. He finds fresh charm in Stravinsky's opus by eliciting its whimsy and dancelike qualities. The 21st century sonata, Wild's own, is a virtuoso work--energetic, eclectic and flamboyant--that he plays with great panache...
