...Foege, who served as a rock critic for Rolling Stone and Spin, believes that controversial lyrics don’t necessarily equal bad music. “A lot of the time artists that have been criticized for putting out misogynistic messages, put out some of the best records too,” he says, pointing to Eminem and Dr. Dre as examples. “If you look back to the 50s and what people were saying about rock and roll and Elvis Presley, it’s very similar kinds of criticisms.

...European leaders whose job security depends on economic performance are not thrilled about slowing exports that could easily translate into lower growth and higher unemployment.

Ecuador has also pledged to implement a long-delayed plan to beef up the state's border presence, which is almost non-existent beyond the army, and improve public services. On Thursday Correa announced that foreign lenders have agreed...

I’ve been a vocal and unapologetic critic of Yardfest in the past, but I’m in full support of tomorrow’s concert, featuring the Wu-Tang Clan (Gavin DeGraw, I have no idea who you are, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt). As for Wu-Tang, it?...
