...much as the marketing department at New Line Cinema might want audience members to forget, the megamovie Lord of the Rings has a history that predates Elijah Wood's hairy toes.

Rings-mania swept U.S. campuses, prompting TIME to comment, in the quaint parlance of the age, "The hobbit habit seems to be almost as catching as LSD."

There is a huge group of people over 50 who have heard some real talent in the past years. How about an in-depth article on "Mr. Guitar"? He didn't get that name by accident. PAUL PUGLIESE...
...inspired acts, but Matsutani says he isn't used to any of them doing very well outside a small community of die-hard rock fans. But that has changed with the recent success of Yura Yura Tei Koku, a once-underground band that sounds remarkably like Woodstock rocker Jimi Hendrix. "This band is selling out 5,000-seat theaters," Matsutani says with disbelief. "People seem to be tired of the same old pop?they're looking for feeling, a kind of musical trip...
