...fairy tales say, it seemed that it might be time again for legends. Twenty years later there were suddenly on every side the familiar sounds of the '60s: Bob Dylan, the Who, Van Morrison, the Bee Gees and the Jefferson Airplane. But the flashiest news was that the Rolling Stones, well aged and embattled, would be lumbering out of the woods and into the lights again. "The world's greatest rock 'n' roll band" (an unofficial title the band never originated but did little to discourage) had not only cut a new record but was embarking on a tour that...

With a splendid new album, Oh Mercy, due out in September, and on the strength of permanent regard, Bob Dylan hit the road again, doing the vintage songs in new ways, singing the newer songs as if they'd just been minted. Dylan perpetually remakes himself, reshapes his work. He has made history, but even the most dedicated fan knows that Dylan's history is peculiar, part of the past with a claim on the future, but existing in a kind of new space, a new tense: the present imperfect...

...River and Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. And anyone who's scandalized by such an idea . . . well, they just haven't been listening. Try this simple test at home.

...play it," says Rudman, even though some rap (by Tone Loc, Run-D.M.C., L.L. Cool J and the all-white Beastie Boys, among others) has busted through onto the upper regions of the pop charts. Not all the young action is rap, though. Ziggy Marley, one of Bob's band of children, has got the gift and, to go with it, a light way with carrying a heavy torch. On One Bright Day, the new album he made with the Melody Makers (his younger brother Stephen and two of his sisters, Sharon and Cedella), there...

Well, they sure could have called it Weird. After all, the main characters in this bonkers biopic are two people John Belushi never met during his brief, explosive life: Bob Woodward, the actor's biographer, and John Belushi dead. You have to cherish the daredevil idiocy of a movie whose climax is a parody of Woodward's legendary deathbed chat with CIA director William Casey. The journalist visits the hotel room where Belushi took his fatal overdose and hallucinates an interview with the dying star. "Breathe for me, Woodward!" the samurai comic cries. And it's hard to hate...
