...director can conjure up any more scenarios cribbed from the artwork of middle-school girls. You’d think if she was going to dabble in the goth aesthetic she might at least toss a couple of Danzig riffs into the new single. Alas, no such luck. Bela Lugosi must be turning in his grave. —Bernard L. ParhamVery LoudThe Shout Out LoudsI fell in love with the Shout Out Louds as soon as I played their EP—which I recovered from the garbage can in the Record Hospital room at WHRB. Yes, it?...

Especially on Not All Who Wander Are Lost, Thile’s 2001 solo album made with the help of such respected musicians as Bela Fleck and Jerry Douglas, listeners were captivated by the mesmeric and natural quality of the tracks.

Says USA Gymnastics president Bob Colarossi: "We had to do something." He pleaded for help from Bela, who was retired. Colarossi, Bela and Martha came up with a program that would not only improve the U.S.'s Olympic chances, but also keep the talent pipeline full. In 1999 Bela became the first national team coordinator (his wife succeeded him two years later), the gym czar with veto power over the Olympic team...
