Markus: Joakim [Joakim Berg, the singer/songwriter] writes most of the material. He always does it with an acoustic guitar. They're almost always really slow songs. He comes with the songs to rehearsal, and we try to arrange them, pull up the tempo a bit. "If You were Here" was originally a ballad, really cheesy...
...Joakim Berg, Kent's singer and songwriter, strutted around the stage doing a Swedish version of the funky chicken, which involved puffing out his chest, slapping it with one palm and draping the microphone cord around his neck. Berg clearly enjoyed playing to a receptive, albeit unknown, crowd. Not one to miss a chance to connect with the audience, he dedicated the song "Elvis" to an enthusiastic fan who was wearing an enormous pair of ski goggles. Kent is an incredibly talented, charismatic band-hopefully they are only tasting the beginning of their overseas success...
...LINDBERGH His 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic made him, at 25, the most famous person on the planet. A.

Lindbergh came to dislike commercial aviation and was accused of pro-Nazi sympathies. A hero who flew so high became a troubled human back on the ground...
...Sunday night the tables in the 'Berg had returned to their old positions. Luckily, a "few weeks" doesn't mean very long in Annenberg time. Now when I spy someone I want to eat with, I can choose to sit across from him or her and have a meaningful conversation instead of shouting across a table filled with the person's dormmates. What I've enjoyed most about Harvard is the absolute freedom of the life. Where it clashes with "community," I'll take the independence any time...
...Berg, a star of "Chicago Hope," is the latest refugee from television to land on the shores of Hollywood. This, presumably, is what gives Very Bad Things its one virtue: It does not look like television. This is partly because much of its content would be censored by all but the most `liberal' cable channels, but it's also because the director appreciates the one aspect of this medium that television completely lacks: the visceral possibilities of the big screen. While the more "artsy" montage scenes in Very Bad Things resemble nothing so much as MTV, there are some moments...
