...love to see other music videos given the same treatment. Nine Inch Nails' Closer: "Decapitated pig head spinning on a metal spike/Weird small monkey crucified." Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice: "Christopher Walken flies in a suit/He's cool, and creepy too." The White Stripes' Fell in Love with a Girl: "Legos up and they're down/Red and white, it's a strict color scheme...
That in turn has created opportunities for the specialty high-value metals that Allegheny Technologies (ATI) makes. "We have manufacturing operations that no one else has," says spokesman Dan Greenfield. The company handles specialty alloys such as titanium and zirconium, as well as grain-oriented electrical steel used in the energy, power and aerospace industries. ATI is spending $1.16 billion over four years to improve its capability to do the most difficult metal rolling, which should preserve the 2,900 ATI jobs in the area. That funding is expected to be internally generated, so ATI doesn't have to worry...
UPMC, not U.S. Steel, is the biggest employer in the area, with 50,000 workers. It's an exporter in its own right: UPMC runs hospitals in Ireland, Italy and Qatar. It exports knowledge, not metal.

He also eats oil. When you are “world building,” people will oftentimes judge how well you built your world. They want to know: Is the culture believable? Does it feel like...
These songs show the problem with the very idea of a Morello folk album. Rage Against the Machine was one of the most important bands of the 90s, and Morello practically invented the genre of “Nu-metal,” but whatever you think of that movement you cannot say that it was subtle. Simplistic left-wing posturing works much better when coupled with loud, powerhouse riffs, and Zack de la Rocha’s rapping than it does here with Morello’s flat voice and only intermittently engaging instrumentation. The volume may have been...
