...don’t know a tremendous amount about wine, but it doesn’t really take a genius to understand why you don’t serve an overpowering port with a salad. Similarly, I hadn’t previously had the misfortune to encounter Lambrusco, a fizzy Italian red wine, but I rapidly realized what the “excellent” bottle Stone served reminded me of: box wine mixed with seltzer.

Ever since they were rediscovered in the 19th century, his dramatic religious set pieces and dark, melancholy portraits have been regarded as groundbreaking, and 20th century modernists claimed him as a brother.

(The Dick column provoked an aggrieved e-mail, which I?ll get to later...
...snap, but most of mine kept getting rejected. And GarageBand hogs a lot of computer memory. Still, these are quibbles compared with how easy it is to create a song with up to 64 layers of loops and tracks. Coolest of all: you can save that work of genius to your iPod. After all, your music should be as simple to listen to as it was to make...
