...certainly couldn't have made it 10 years ago," says Murdoch. The charm of The Life Pursuit is in the unapologetic, upbeat mid-'70s influences from glam rock to MOR that frame Murdoch's often tragic vignettes. The downfall of Sukie in the Graveyard gleefully stomps along to borrowed Mick Ronson guitar and David Bowie vocals while White Collar Boy is a chain-gang romance played out to the glam swagger of T. Rex and even a hint of Marc Bolan vocals. But it's the less cool, neglected hits from the mid-'70s that most enthuse Murdoch, who still...
...could be a passion story as co-written by Mick (Sympathy for the Devil) Jagger and The Matrix's mess-with-your-metaphysics Wachowski brothers: Judas Iscariot, vilified in the Gospels as Jesus' great betrayer, was not merely an Apostle--he was perhaps Christ's closest confidant. Technically speaking, he did drop a dime on Jesus. But there were extenuating circumstances, some having to do with the belief that the God of the Old Testament was not the ultimate God, that this world is not what it seems and ... well, for a full explanation, you'll just have...
...former Enron boss Ken Lay, and, in all likelihood, the confirmation of Samuel Alito to be the newest associate justice of the Supreme Court.

At the time, it was hailed as a massive success, and in the sense that it got people to briefly engage with another part of the world while watching Tina Turner dance with Mick Jagger, it was. After the concert, Bono and his wife Ali Hewson spent six weeks working at an orphanage in Wello, Ethiopia. The weight of famine, war and corruption--as well as the resentment many capable Africans feel toward uninformed foreigners with messiah complexes--overwhelmed him. As did the foolishness...
These disco-loving Scottish art-school punks spend much of their second album boasting of their badness. Singer Alex Kapranos is blessed with Mick Jaggeresque persuasiveness--Evil and a Heathen and I'm Your Villain would be musts on any syllabus of "Songwriting for Cads"--but he's also growing in ways that suggest depth. The fast songs have more than one musical thought (some even scoot past the 3-min. mark), while the slow ones have the courage to be pretty (Fade Together) and vulnerable (Eleanor Put Your Boots...
