...album there would be no chance of them being accused of a sophomore slump. But in light of the niche popularity of their self-titled LP, “Ta-Dah” is bound to be something of a letdown to the fanbase they won with their previous disc of campy, cabaret-inspired pop. It starts off right with a dance track ironically titled “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.” Featuring a piano riff co-written and performed by Elton John, the piece is as masterfully derivative and flamboyant...
...homophonic flow, all in the matchbook-sized verse he rents from West. It’s no wonder that Fiasco only gets a couple bars, or that West worries about measuring up to other hip-hoppers earlier in the track. Now that we have Fiasco’s debut disc, “Food & Liquor,” West’s paranoia is thoroughly understandable. Like West, Fiasco’s a hard sell in street-cred terms. While “Food & Liquor” is, according to the rapper himself, modeled after Nas?...
...Rotator cuff tears, herniated discs, torn knee ligaments and cartilages are just like this; the same abnormality that hurts some folks doesn't hurt others. Over 80% of asymptomatic adult volunteers (people with no pain at all) who let us do an MRI of their necks were found to have abnormalities - like disc herniations and bone spurs - that we commonly operate on in symptomatic patients.

They'll take you on a trip anyway.'" Read more at timearchive.com...
...There's a six-disc CD set Lenny Bruce: Let the Buyer Beware (Shout! Factory, 2005), edited by Hal Willner and Marvin Worth, that wraps all the familiar bits and much previously unheard material in a handsome 80-page book. It's a must for any advanced Bruceophile. And two years ago, Comedy Central chose the 100 all-time greatest stand-up comedians. Lenny was #3, trailing only Richard Pryor and George Carlin, two social critics who (as Carlin notes) wouldn't have had the careers they did if Lenny hadn't made unfettered comedy possible...
