...sounds like a poor man's Bob Dylan (who incidentally appears on "Gotta Serve Somebody," but is crushed by the weight of excessive percussion). Similarly, the Eurythmic's "I've Tried Everything," from their post-reunion days, seems entirely out of place. The good seems to cancel out the bad, and the result is middling success...
...prevent Austria from forming a coalition government that includes the party of right-wing politician Jorg Haider, but perhaps the grumblings of a citizenry that has been denied the musical stylings of Sting will prove more effective. He reportedly will follow Lou Reed and cancel Austrian concert dates to protest Haider's policies. Earlier this month, the lead singer of the band Bush chanted a Jewish prayer during a concert in Graz, and the London Times reports some artists are thinking of planning a "Rock Against Haider" boycott. Native son ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER expressed concern, saying, "I am hopeful that Austria...

I may reel from Greenspan's potion for a while, but I'm sure I'll feel much better later in the year. The next few months in the market could be rocky, though. I'd find it soothing if folks lightened up on their speculative investments, like Internet stocks, and rotated into parts of the market that present better value: some banks and financials and lots of small-company stocks. Some foreign shares might be a good choice. And don't rule out bonds...
