...were invited to a preview performance of Riverdance this past week (now playing at the Wang Theater through Nov. 9). Riverdance is one of those things that everyone instinctively makes fun of without ever having experienced (like Titanic, Melanie Griffith, etc.) But it's an unfair judgment--the dancing is phenomenal. Skipping and clicking across the stage like gazelles, these performers are among the most talented in the world. Riverdance deserves its success. But I worry. See, the dancers can really only last 10-15 minutes at a time because the intensity and energy required for a particular number...
...Dynasty or The Fall Guy to see how horrendous the outfits and hairdos were. And it was a painful time for music, too--sure, there were one or two good groups, and I like 80s classics like "Too Shy" and "867-5309", but genres like hair metal (Stryper, Dokken, etc.) were a travesty, and those fake drum sounds that everyone used in the mid and late 80s were god-awful.

The collected works of Doonesbury, the only political strip ever to win a Pulitzer Prize, will one day make a great curriculum for a U.S. History class (Watergate, Iran/Contra, Desert Storm, etc.). Over the last almost 29 years, Doonesbury (through Trudeau), tackling such social issues as AIDS, homelessness and education, has put together a visual and verbal compendium of life's great questions and answers: how to treat people justly in a changing society, how to keep public figures honest...
