...Barack the Vote If you want to feel old, just tell a group of teenagers today that you can remember a time when the Clintons were hip. There was this guy on TV, see, called Arsenio Hall, and Bill Clinton went on wearing sunglasses and playing a saxophone, and, well, no, it wasn't on YouTube - this was before most people had heard of the Internet - oh, never mind. There's nothing new, for today's young people, about a Clinton replacing a Bush...
...Grammy Awards on Feb. 10, including one for Album of the Year. While the Grammys are notorious for their grandfatherly taste (she'll be competing against Herbie Hancock, among others), they're spot-on about Winehouse. On Back to Black she sounds like Dusty Springfield teleported into the hip-hop era.

The following night finds the same trendy venue packed with whites and some Asians, dancing to a blend of hip-hop, pop and techno...
...Even in other racially divided cities, the club scene is often one area where races mix like rum and Coke. But not in Atlanta, where an unspoken code translates billings such as "techno night" into "white night," while "hip-hop night" means "black night." Some club owners and event promoters have tried with, at best, limited success to buck the status quo. Ski plans to open his own nightclub later this year where he hopes to draw more mixed crowds. But, like Dr. King, they have learned that major change is accomplished not in sprints but rather in baby steps...
