DIED. SWAMI SATCHIDA-NANDA, 87, prodigiously bearded guru who opened the 1969 Woodstock festival; while attending a peace conference in Madras, South India. Satchidananda attracted hundreds of om-chanting followers, including the '60s psychedelic artist Peter Max, musician Carole King and heart doctor Dean Ornish...
...comix. Here McKean's visual prowess justifies the metaphysical themes. "Cages" mostly takes place in an apartment building that Leo Sabarsky, a painter, has just moved into. There he meets Jonathan Rush, a secretive, Salman Rushdie-like writer whose latest book incites riots. Completing the traditional arts, Angel, a musician who can make stones sing, lives there too. Mixing Ingmar Bergman with Monty Python, strange, vaguely metaphorical characters pop in and out.

The Rising is Springsteen's effort to try through his art to make us respect, remember and somehow overcome...
...Musician Eric Rosser intended to die in Bangkok, the "City of Angels." Here, the former piano player for faded American rock star John Mellencamp found a haven. He had an attractive Thai wife, a young son, a luxury apartment and what he once described as the best gig in town: playing piano at the century-old Oriental Hotel's Bamboo Bar. The city's monied set showered him with invitations to cocktail parties and they enrolled their kids at the thriving Rosser Piano Studio. "This is a fulfilling life," Rosser told the Bloomington Herald Times, his Indiana hometown paper...
