...Incident. But despite a high-class pedigree--the show is produced by the Dreamworks team of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, with creative guidance from monologist Eric Bogosian--High Incident maintains an embarrassingly CHiPs-like feel as its cast of eight Ray-Ban-wearing patrol-car cops meander about a fictional Los Angeles suburb responding to wacky calls...
...Davis' miserable love life. Just how the apocalypse, Thoreau and Davis' ex-'s all hang together never becomes clear but the jumble of thoughts does have a loose coherence. At least we know that Davis says we're in the midst of this apocalypse right now. Too many people meander through life with bad attitudes, and instead they should adopt a little optimism, maybe even study a little Walden...

"In the Haight-Ashbury, I rented a cheap flat and furnished it a la mode with a massive stereo and a mattress on the floor. Something new and exciting seemed to enter...
...Automatic for the People, R.E.M.'s follow- up to its 1991 critical and commercial smash, Out of Time. The record gets off to a somber start with Drive, a dirgelike number featuring lyricist and lead singer Michael Stipe, and continues its downward spiral with a string of songs that meander into a morass of hopelessness, anger and loss...
