...U2/Mary J. Blige Performance The old pros opened with Vertigo, a showcase for The Edge?s amazingly clean guitar playing. Then Mary J. Blige stalked onto the stage looking, as always, as if someone just stole her car. Bono wisely backed away and let Mary go on about her enduring campaign of melody obliteration. She didn?t sing a single note that was originally in One, but her gospel take on the ol? chestnut (first performed on the telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims) was still moving...
...Living Proof” sounds like Jessica Simpson singing Sarah Vaughn: alright, if you don’t listen too hard, but ultimately devoid of artistry. “Love and Communication” gets a bit closer to her roots with a downbeat arrangement backed by a guitar sounding like it came out of a 70s blues-influenced light-rock outfit. It’s pretty and all, but it doesn’t seethe or sear as Cat Power’s finest work has in the past. But then the album drifts away again...
...Shaun is Shaun," says Rene Hansen, team director for Burton Snowboards, a top U.S. manufacturer. Like the wunderkinds to which he is compared- Tiger Woods, LeBron James- White views life as a constant competition, whether it's one-upping a fellow boarder?s tricks, or matching his coach's guitar skills note for note.

It's a conceit that at times elevates his self-pity to epic proportions (on The Sadness he wails, "The sadness is mine," over a flamenco guitar lick--qu melodramtico!), but it also creates moments of immense tenderness as Adams says a reluctant goodbye to youth (Carolina Rain, Starlite Diner) and contemplates a commitment to something other than himself. "If you want any flowers," he sings with dawning wisdom on the standout Strawberry Wine, "you gotta...
DURHAM, N.H.—The No. 7 Harvard women’s hockey team took the ice at the Whittemore Center Wednesday night to the blaring guitar strains of AC/DC. And although the Crimson (10-6-2, 7-2-2 ECAC) was not “Thunderstruck” by top-ranked New Hampshire (16-2-0, 7-1-0 Hockey East), it was certainly blunder-struck in a mistake-filled third period that eventually led to a 5-1 defeat. After threatening the host’s 10-game winning streak by remaining within one goal...
