Bill Clinton knows how to beat the economic drum for political gain - moaning about "the worst economy in 50 years" was his death blow for George Bush back in 1992, and the eight-year boom kept Clinton himself afloat during the worst of political times. And now, irony of ironies: Clinton's successor, who happens to be Bush's son, is bad-mouthing Clinton's most precious legacy and warning America about the possibility of a downturn/recession in the spring...
...early '60s. Anyway, "Once More" ended up on 1964's "Bluegrass Hootenanny," the second of three albums Melba and George made together (the best tracks of which are collected on this disc). In fact, this ballad has the Osborne Brothers signature all over it, with a banjo and some drum work providing a lilting country-bluegrass feel...
...strings and backup singers when he recorded Melba and George. Just a strummed guitar, bass, piano (with ace session man Pig Robbins at the ivories), fiddle, dobro and a tasty pedal steel (played by the incomparable Buddy Emmons). I don't even detect a drum beat on this track. In part, this was an attempt to cash in on the early-'60s craze for all types of folk music; no matter, the results are glorious...
Grohl's hyperactivity and brashness onstage prove that he has come a long way from his Nirvana days as the shy one behind both the drum kit and Kurt Cobain's immense shadow.

It was his drum kit raised high on a platform above the stage. It was he who dove into the crowd and returned onstage, not with a pretty young groupie, but with a decidedly troll-like looking man of at least...
...Stone Age, who played a 50-minute set admirable for its instrumental layering, but lacking in any real melodic structure-a perfect point of departure for Grohl and his boys. The Queens' simple black curtain background was replaced by the Foo Fighters' somewhat whimsical setup of two drum kits, five white boxes suspended in the air for reflecting lights and lasers and bouquets of flowers scattered about the stage. The somewhat tepid crowd immediately warmed up when the Foo Fighters burst onstage with "Stacked Actors," a guitar-heavy power ballad bemoaning the superficiality of Los Angeles...
