...Jackson introduced "Cancer" a song on his new album Night and Day, at a concert a couple of weeks ago. He might as well have been talking about all of his new songs. The tunes on this album splendidly scrutinize everything that bothers this angry and cynical British musician...
Jackson has always been sardonic and strident as a musician and a social critic. He was one of those feisty, harsh rockers that rode the New Wave from England to the States a few years ago. Singing tunes like "I'm the Man." "On Your Radio," and "Sunday Papers," he presented himself in an impassioned, rebellious rock and roll style...
...trip through the South, all set against the dusty backdrop of the Great Depression-it worked for Ryan and Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon, why not for Clint Eastwood, 52, and his son Kyle, 14? In Honky Tonk Man, opening at Christmas, Eastwood plays an itinerant musician heading cross country to try for a shot at the Grand Ole Opry. "Kyle plays my nephew in the film," says he.

He has composed some 200 songs to celebrate the faith, using scriptural themes and nature metaphors. His music echoes the Gregorian chant sung by Benedictines for more than 1,000 years. Since 1971 about 100 of Brother Gregory's songs have found their way, through the priory's songbooks and records, into Catholic congregational singing across the nation. Weston's music is one reason that crowds as large as 1,300 are drawn...
