...song the band played when I was at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards and they sucked and he was fat and out of breath and I kept saying I was pretty sure it was a fake Axl Rose. It's Axl's attempt to do Led Zeppelin's Kashmir. It's vaguely Middle Eastern and slow and bombastic and a little trippy. But it's boring. And why does it end with all those clips of Martin Luther King Jr.? Grade...
Track 5: Rhiad and the Bedouins This song, oddly, starts with him wailing almost exactly like Robert Plant in Kashmir. Then Axl sings really fast. Kind of a nicely sung and interesting chorus, but the rest of it sucks. Slash/Buckethead/Bumblefoot seems to get to do whatever they like. Grade...

"You can't escape that fact...
...Leaders in the new government in Pakistan have also made conciliatory noises in the past few months, suggesting that India and Pakistan should work on trade and transport links and deal with the issue of Kashmir later. Ministers from the two countries are expected to meet in a few days as part of an ongoing dialogue aimed at strengthening ties. But Pakistan's leadership is split between President Pervez Musharraf and a fractious new coalition government, which overwhelmingly defeated Musharraf's party in February elections. Pakistan's intelligence and security agencies, long suspected of helping anti-Indian militants, are another...
