...usually been on behalf of a movie. I'm passionate in that area. What's happened to me and my pals Sean Penn and Russell Crowe and Johnny Depp is that we all have children, and fatherhood has softened our approach. It's time for us to mellow...
...does not really convey the extent of Jones' ubiquity. ZZ Top once sold 8 million records, but you could avoid Eliminator by staying out of biker bars. Come Away with Me--by virtue of being inoffensive, authentic and really good--was inescapable. If Jones wasn't laying down a mellow vibe for your latte, she was providing the sound track for your dinner party, the theme for your prom--or maybe the last dance at your biker bar. The diversity of her admirers wasn't restricted to consumers either; she is almost certainly the only person ever asked to duet...
...fact that Jones photographs like a goddess, in person she frequently wears large flowerpot hats, makes puns and has an adorably goofy laugh that she regularly hauls out at her own expense; she's kind of an exuberant dork. Jones often complains that Come Away with Me was "too mellow" and "too cool" and that Feels like Home sounds like a correction.

There is no faith pledge, although students must sign a document agreeing to certain "spiritual and social expectations"--no drug, alcohol or tobacco use on campus and no unmarried cohabitation or homosexual activity on or off campus. There...
Boohbah is kind of like an alien variety show. Sometimes the five Boohbahs happily jump and bend to doinky keyboard beats, their bellies jiggling wildly, their wide, alert eyes inviting kids to move along with them. Other times there are funny, mellow sketches about jump ropes that aren't long enough and sweaters that unravel, performed by live actors called the Storypeople. Toward the end of the show, real little kids are shown doing Boohbah exercises in an endearingly wobbly way. Everything happens in perfect, idealized, light-filled meadows and beaches. Like Teletubbies, the show was a hit when...
