...logical turn of the wheel. In Broadway's golden era, the songs Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and others wrote for the stage were the same ones that sat atop the nation's hit parade.

Though a stray Broadway hit might get radio airplay (Don't Cry for Me, Argentina), and a whiff of something like rock occasionally stirs the Great White Way (Rent), Broadway became a separate and self-contained musical domain, irrelevant to the most creative musicians of the rock generation...
...fifth annual event took place Saturday and Sunday at Boston's City Hall plaza, featuring local bands and more than 10 superstar national performers like Sarah McLachlan, Paula Cole, 10,000 Maniacs, Duncan Sheik, Third Eye Blind, Sister Hazel, The Monkees and Bare Naked Ladies.

In their gag, they referenced the lyric "while you go have a beer" from Cole's hit "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone." The group also made up a mock song about the many fans sitting high above in the trees surrounding City Hall Plaza...
...took Cole Porter to prove Lisa Stansfield really had soul. On Red Hot + Blue, a 1990 tribute album to Porter, she contributed a sublimely sophisticated version of Down in the Depths. The song showed off the pop-soul diva's skills as a vocal interpreter; the number also demonstrated how good she could be when her material was as strong as her sure, supple voice...
