...Monkees also presaged the advent of country rock, notably in Mike Nesmith's compositions and their wonderful cover of Michael Murphy's deceptively simple-sounding "What Am I Doing Hanging 'Round?" There are also ample pleasures to be derived from lesser-known songs; the Monkees came from the era when albums were supposed to be more than just filler to put around singles, and for the most part they delivered...
Recently, President George W. Bush dusted off one of the lesser-known items in his campaign platform: a new tax on lawyer's fees. Modeled on the "excess benefit" taxes for executives of non-profits, the proposal would tax lawyers' fees at a rate substantially higher than the standard income tax whenever the fees are paid by a state or local government and the fee is above a "reasonable amount." The lawyer tax has been a popular idea in Republican circles for years--Sen. John S. McCain (R-Ariz.) made a similar proposal in 1998--and was part of Bush...

The crowd certainly ate it up, roaring with anticipation as the familiar shuffling beat filtered from the speakers, but not so much that anyone could call Maas a one-remix wonder. If anything, they much preferred lesser-known but equally well-crafted Maas tracks, occasionally jumping up and down with the reckless abandon of seventh-graders at a school dance. That's not to say that Maas avoided well-known tracks-another crowd favorite was Fatboy Slim's new single "Star 69," universally recognized by its spoken...
