He doesn't make the most money - in last week's SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, soccer guru Grant Wahl reckoned Beckham, 28, earns close to $30 million a year, which is way less than the earnings of golfer Tiger Woods and Formula One racing driver Michael Schumacher - but Beckham's agency, SFX, which is owned by Clear Channel, the radio and concert giant, hasn't done badly by the boy.

What saves St. Anger from being a victim of its own self-pity, and actually elevates it into the category of a pretty good metal record, is his voice. Producer Bob Rock has wisely taken the gloss off Metallica's sound, and Hetfield is the biggest beneficiary. On tracks like My World, he comes through in all his gruff and gravelly glory.
