...point of keeping it up there? It's costing South Carolina big bucks because civil rights groups have organized a boycott of the state until the flag comes down. According to polls, 60% of South Carolinians, black and white, want to get rid of it. Even Governor Jim Hodges said last week he wants to move it from the statehouse to a nearby Confederate memorial. Continuing to fly it is STUPID...
...launch a new beverage tradition are not going well. Last week Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl receiver RANDY MOSS was fined $40,000 for squirting water at an official during the NFC divisional playoffs. Losing to the St. Louis Rams in the fourth quarter, Moss grew angry when field judge Jim Saracino failed to call interference on a pass Moss tried to receive. Standing on the sidelines later, Moss squirted the ref with a water bottle. Moss's agent said he will appeal the fine. Perhaps if Moss had just offered to pay for the dry cleaning, this whole situation could...
...feathery bossa nova romp through the harmonic obstacle course of John Coltrane's Giant Steps. The biggest surprise is the old-fashioned show tune A Lot of Livin' to Do, coolly reharmonized in the oblique, quizzical manner of Metheny's idol, the peerless jazz guitarist Jim Hall.

"It encapsulates the love and respect I have for Jim," Metheny says. Best of all is a magically spare version of Farmer's Trust, a tender waltz originally recorded by the Metheny Group in 1982, which leaves no doubt that despite his love of ear-popping electronic effects, he is above all a wonderfully fluent spinner of simple yet indelible melodies...
...have to go to get past everyone else?" asks Jim Newman, an Irish immigrant just a few years off the boat in the second decade of the 19th century. We've seen his type many times before: one of those restless individualists who helped settle the rapidly expanding American continent. Yet the trek he makes during more than 40 years--from Manhattan Island down the Ohio River Valley to St. Louis, Mo., and beyond--in Howard Korder's extraordinary new play, The Hollow Lands, leaves most of the romance behind. The journey is populated by criminals and charlatans and half...
