...mullet; not satisfied to rock you on "Sunday Bloody Sunday," he needed to convert you. In the towering period that spanned The Joshua Tree to Zooropa, U2 made stadium-size art rock with huge melodies that allowed Bono to throw his arms around the world while bending its ear about social justice. After 1997's Pop - a disastrous mix of disco and hubris that provided a harrowing glimpse of career death - the band decided to banish the lead singer's politics to venues like the U.N. and focus on writing songs whose chief ambition was to charm rather than...
...woman reunites with the man who joined the clergy when she spurned him 27 years ago. His “Autobiography of a Bum” was cool too. For the first fifteen minutes of the performance I imagined I was in the 1940's, a girl with her ear pressed against a radio, tuned to bluegrass.

...Portnuff has documented that listening to earbuds, or in-ear headphones, for 90 minutes a day at 80% volume is probably safe for long-term hearing - a useful cutoff point to keep in mind.

M. Ward’s reverb-drenched vocals, unfortunately...
...Maybe not, but what matters most to White House reporters is that Gibbs has the President's ear and can get to the Commander in Chief when an answer is needed. Though Gibbs' aides speak of him affectionately as a "silent killer" whose mood can turn from warm to ice-cold when his boss's motives are challenged, they add that he has been consciously trying to shift into a more press-friendly role at the White House, a move symbolized by his often open office door. "He's always been good with the stick," Axelrod jokes about Gibbs...
