...Tang revels in its own unpredictability, its own inscrutability and its own ungainly nature. Wu-Tang is a conglomeration of rappers that includes RZA (the mastermind and main producer), Method Man (the star MC), Masta Killa, U-God, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, GZA, Ghostface Killah and Ol' Dirty Bastard. A tenth rapper, Cappadonna, is regarded as an honorary member. While other groups rage and split and fall apart when members look to release solo work, Wu-Tang's boundaries are loose. All of the members have authored solo albums at one time or another; RZA, for his part, composed the music...
...DIRTY BASTARD released himself on his own recognizance last week. Unfortunately, the law did not. Dirty, ne Russell Jones, fled Impact House, a Pasadena, Calif., drug-treatment facility that had been his court-ordered residence since June, just before a scheduled trip to the Los Angeles Criminal Courthouse to discuss his progress and treatment with a judge. After the Wu-Tang Clan rapper failed to show, a no-bail bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Jones' police file is the stuff of legend, even by rap-star standards. What makes this latest escapade particularly sad is that Jones, according...
...shall try to name songs that I like that were fairly well-known: "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child," "Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary, "Thank You" by Dido, "Baby Did a Bad Thing" by Chris Isaak, "Porcelain" by Moby (I confess) and "Got Your Money" by Ol' Dirty Bastard (right). ODB IS ON THE LOOSE. ODB IS ON THE LOOSE. We interrupt this program to bring you this news. Wow. I always thought these things happened only in the movies. But as I'm sure you know by now, ODB fled from Impact House, site of a treatment program...
...span of a few hours last Thursday, Middle East gunfighting and its bastard cousin terrorism burst back into our lives with split-screen bulletins and double-deck headlines that hammered home again both the volatility of that region and the vulnerability of the entire world. It was a reminder that the horror facing the 21st century will be the one left unresolved in the 20th: after the end of the great confrontations between shifting alliances of nation-states, we are still faced with the bloody terrors wrought by ethnic, religious and tribal hatreds...
...dramatic moments of the show will come when contestants indulge in melancholy, desperate eating binges, subsequently feel remorse and then frantically run around the jogging track until they vomit and cry. Hooray for anorexia! Cheers for bulemia! It's a morally bankrupt idea and it makes even a cynical bastard like me sort of queasy, but I'm also slightly intrigued by the possibilities of sabotage once the field is narrowed to two or three. Just think of the potential scenarios! Instead of Survivor-esque alliances, you'll have feisty individuals strategically placing Goobers and Slim Jims under each other...
