...Slipknot comes to Avalon while sensation Jill Scott sings at the Paradise. Jill Scott is, of course, part of that same amazing revival of Philly R&B and soul that produced the Roots. (Indeed, Scott wrote the Roots' slinky hit "You Got Me.") Next Friday, Badly Drawn Boy (ne Damon Gough) comes to the Paradise to promote his stunning album The Hour of Bewilderbeast. Or, to use movie-trailer speak, if you like the Beta Band you'll love this...

...Line Where have you gone, Y. A. Tittle? Our prognosticators turn their lonely eyes to you and ask "What the--? Can't anybody play this game?" Exhibit A: Miami, where the 'Fins start off the year 1 AM (after Marino) with either Damon Huard or Jay Fiedler calling the signals. On the other side, Mr. Jon Kitna steps in to try to make Mike Holmgren forget Brett Favre, which is a bit like trying to make Gwyneth forget Brad. Not a great game to watch, or to pick, but making the tough calls is what the Line is all about...
