...vocals, the tight guitar riffs of Albert Hammond Jr. and Nick Valensi, the bouncy bass of Nikolai Fraiture and the aggressive drumming of Fabrizio Moretti. Even the band members’ names have a novel quality and are strangely fatalistic, as if they had already been written into the canon of rockstardom. Once on stage, they wasted no time opening with “The Modern Age.” Casablancas did forward rolls with a beer in his hand while the band raucously played the introduction.

A cleric, however, loses the clerical state." In other words, Haggett believes a priest who marries may no longer...
...addition to three spin-off books from Multnomah, the tiny publisher of The Prayer of Jabez, five other publishers have Jabez-inspired books out now or in the works. Among them: Praying Like Jesus (HarperSanFrancisco), I Just Wanted More Land (Xulon Press) and a parody, The Mantra of Jabez (Canon). What, no TV series...
