...developed into all those subgenres. They're all related." As a rule, an artist's career must have started at least 25 years ago for Hall nomination. This avoids one-hit wonders and bands that drop off the music map after one or two albums. (Remember Bush?) But no matter who is picked, every year there's at least one inductee who inspires complaints. "Very few people consider themselves art experts," says Henke. "But rock 'n' roll is a populist art form, and everyone has an opinion. One year we had a U2 exhibit, and people even complained about that...
...terms of F1 economics, however - and this is especially true for the newest hosts - it doesn't matter if none of F1's race promoters comes close to covering costs. The shortfall is increasingly paid for by governments who view television coverage as a giant TV commercial for their city or country. Singapore hosts a spectacular nighttime race on city streets beneath twinkling lights. In 2008, its first year, the race took in $51 million, but cost $100 million, according to Formula Money.

Like Sundance for squirts, they exist to promote and cultivate the entertainment version of beets: vitamin-rich sustenance kids are not quite sure they want to consume, no matter how delicious their parents say it is. Hipster-parent haven New York City supports a children's film festival (Brooklyn has its own), and they're popping up in other places as well. You'll mostly find them in big cities, but Asheville, N.C., had its first kids' film festival last year, as did Nantucket, Mass., and San Joaquin, Calif. Providence...
