Luckily, Burton got a second chance to make an impression on the world's ears. Damon Albarn, the singer-songwriter behind the acclaimed British band Blur and the multiplatinum rap-rock concoction Gorillaz, heard The Grey Album and liked it. "But I loved the metaphor," says Albarn, "the mixing of genres and the idea that you can take past and present and make something futuristic." Albarn summoned Burton to London and quickly hired him to produce Gorillaz's second album, Demon Days, out this week. Albarn says he and Burton had "loads of music" in common. They are also both...
...memorably, we walked down to the Sox locker room, right into the den of the now-mythic gaggle of “idiots,” and everywhere we turned, there was someone I’d once resisted drafting in fantasy baseball.

The BLOHARDS, two hundred strong on this November night, so desired. Of course Jane and I were among the faithful...
...Johnny Damon got married in the off-season and the AC-DC front man sang at the wedding. It was very glitzy; Johnny has moved over from SI to People magazine and the cover of EW. He said he wants to be an actor one day, and no one doubts he will be. The Sox as World Champions are kind of the anti-Pats-Tom Terrific and a bunch of hardworking lunch-pail teammates. The Sox are cartoon characters and superheroes. Ortiz, Ramirez, Schilling: larger than life in personality and, in Curt's case, with an ego to match. Damon...
