...going at once. He almost never comments on individual lyrics, although he will protest if he thinks something is emotionally untrue. ("He's great at productive antagonism," says Chili Peppers' singer Anthony Kiedis.) Instead, he uses beach walks and quiet meals to get people to open up. "Writing is dull and unglamorous stuff," says Rubin. "For most people, it's really pretty miserable. But if you write 30 songs, there's a better chance that the 10 on your album will be better than if you just write...

Apparently Chrysler wanted to convey the idea that it's cooking up something spicier than dull minivans. And while they still do look pretty plain, Chrysler's new vans have some cool interior features, like seats that swivel 180 degrees and a removable table that fits between the second and third rows...
