...hand or a leg, or is barely old enough to have grown a beard. This all-powerful vizier, named Tayab Agha, was 25. The Kandahar police chief is the same age, and I've heard that he roars around in a brand new Hi-Lux with a Metallica sticker on the hood. (He got his job a few years back pulling Mullah Omar out of the rubble after truck bomb exploded outside his house.) Maybe now, when his Islamic caliphate is collapsing around him, and his big buddy, Osama bin Laden, has crawled deep underground, Mullah Omar doesn't trust...
Metalheads almost never allow folk flavors to impinge on their wrathful pounding, so System of a Down, an Armenian-American metal band, is as refreshing as a whiff of shish kebab in a Burger King. Its music has a near Eastern feel, a sound akin to what Metallica might produce in a revival of Fiddler on the Roof. Moreover, the band knows raunchy from bad: drug dealers and groupies get their due tongue lashings.

During a recent MTV Unplugged concert, she surprised fans with a rendition of the Irish rock band U2's song With or Without You. Except for such occasional covers, Hikaru writes almost...
...Movie rentals and sales currently enjoy an enormous market. A good business, after all, is adaptive. Yet still the recording industry, perhaps because of the relative effortlessness of digital piracy and near-immunity from the law, feels it deserves special protection. Many pop icons, such as Metallica and Dr. Dre, applaud efforts to preserve record sales as grounded in good principle and in recognition of the blood and sweat of up-and-coming artists. Though we may not be able to articulate opposition to arguments of their tragic monetary loss, many of us just don't buy it. After...
