Taking hip hop heads back to the days of the Native Tongue Collective, Slum Village delivers Trinity, an album which shows a marked improvement in lyrical skills since their debut album. The Detroit-based hip-hop group was originally comprised of two rappers, T3 and Baatin, and producer/DJ Jay Dee who produced head-bobbing beats for such legendary groups as A Tribe Called Quest. Jay Dee has since departed the trio, but appears on Trinity to bless the album with a few well-produced tracks such as “Let?...
...DIED. DEE DEE RAMONE, 50, over-the-top punk-rock pioneer who co-founded the hypernoisy Ramones; of a suspected drug overdose; in Hollywood. Born Douglas Colvin, the volatile bassist and songwriter admitted to a long history of drug use in his autobiography, Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones (2000). His death came three months after the Ramones were inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame...
...state of pop music, 1985: the stakes are even bigger than the hair. Tipper Gore (Mariel Hemingway) and a group of Capitol wives are out to legislate against "porn rock."

It's a rich premise, but this farce has all the subtlety of a Twisted Sister video--and about one-tenth...
...finally matured as a ski racer. Found the brake pedal. The guy was always as fast as an avalanche, but just as wild. He would occasionally show up on the winners' podium, but that seemed purely accidental. The rest of the time Bullet Bode (it's pronounced Bo-dee) would be so far off the course you would need a GPS to find him. This season, though, Miller has been a fixture on the winners' stand of the World Cup tour, Europe's glamorous winter circuit. He has won four races outright, something an American hasn't done in almost...
...American Broadcasting Co. taught grown men to cry. ABC's Brian's Song practically invented the male weepie with its true story of Gale Sayers (Billy Dee Williams) and Brian Piccolo (James Caan), the Chicago Bears runningbacks whose friendship ended when Piccolo died young; of cancer, in 1970. It was Love Story with a Y chromosome, plus a deep interracial friendship, and the network now promotes it as "groundbreaking," a "landmark" among TV movies...
