...middle of the 1980s, a dim perception of what was happening musically penetrated the mist. And it was so lame! Some top singles of 1974: "The Way We Were" by Babs; "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks; "Dancing Machine" by Jackson 5; "Bennie and the Jets" by Elton John.

...last, America's most notorious hip-hopper and many of the parents who hate him have something in common. Pills. Specifically, prescription painkillers like Vicodin. Eminem, who sports a Vicodin tattoo on his left arm, is the pill's unofficial spokesperson. Last month, in his duet with Elton John at the Grammys, he rapped, "I'm on a thousand downers now/ I'm drowsy." It's easy to imagine that, as they glared at the TV, boomers around the country alleviated their annoyance at Eminem's notoriety by swallowing the very drug their nemesis was naming...
