...Mugabe's Road "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," goes the Kris Kristofferson lyric. It might have been written about Zimbabwe's freedom from colonialist rule 28 years ago [March 31]. Now, sadly, that freedom amounts to hyperinflation, barren farms, food scarcities and the flight of millions of citizens. It's time for Mugabe to go. Zimbabwe has nothing left to lose.

...oversized wall and doors and a large elevated bed in the center of the stage. The lighting effectively supports every scene, and the musical selection wonderfully heightens the emotional impact. Notably, the song “I Love You” by the Dandy Warhols, which features the lyric “I Love You” repeated in a trance-like rhythm, makes the violence of a rape scene even eerier.

He chose his words carefully, out of a sense of privacy and poetic economy, and trusted that the tremors in his voice would convey the feelings. But the success of 1992's Everybody Hurts led to some bad habits; soon after...
...chord on his acoustic guitar, leading into an original melody. Loren J. Bienvenu ’08 joins in on drums, completing the trio. Dechter’s soft tenor breaks into a love song. The band crescendos as they near the chorus, at which point Dechter sings the lyric that gave the song its name, “You are my fetish”. These three musicians form the band “Fetish Fetish,” and as their name suggests, all of their songs have a common theme—bringing the bedroom to the stage...
