...Dirt Cowboy is not exactly evidence that John is pursuing new vistas of songwriting. But in the comfortable setting of his AM-radio salad days, he bangs out several irresistible tunes (Tinderbox, Blues Never Fade Away), and Bernie Taupin produces a typically serviceable string of lyrics. The most interesting element here is John's voice; it's a lot scruffier than you might remember. At 59, he stretches to hit the high notes he used to kill, yet the strain gives his glossiest songs something they have never had before: a little grit...
...must be a force from outside. Who is that force from outside? What is the cause of those from outside to come in and kill us and try to prevent our reconstruction? That sort of focus I want.

Giordano didn't just want to know if a boy told his girlfriend he loved her. She also wanted to know if he really meant...
...rafters of U2's early '90s Zoo TV tour to the giant beaded LED curtains of the recent Vertigo shows, he has turned concrete caverns into spaces that drip with mood. And when the music starts, Williams, who pioneered the integration of video and light into a single element, turns the sets into an extravaganza that enhances but never competes with the sound...
