...last Rock in Rio, in 1991, Roberto Medina, the festival's founder and guiding spirit, was kidnapped. But that's just a guess. In any case, there's so much security and so many restrictions, at most times the publicity folks seem outmanned, overwhelmed and out of the loop...
...lifelong student of the American comic strip, Schulz knew the universal power of varying a few basic themes. He said things clearly. He distilled human emotion to its essence. In a few tiny lines - a circle, a dash, a loop, and two black spots - he could tell anyone in the world what a character was feeling.

...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 nonsense-meets-gratuitous-obscenity loop...
