...greatest hits CD. Though other bands have throwaways as B-sides, any songs on this album could have been included on a regular U2 album (in fact, one, "Silver and Gold," was on Rattle and Hum). Worth the extra money alone are U2's haunting, dark version of Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" and the U2 originals "Spanish Eyes" and "Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)." Other songs are brooding ("Love Comes Tumbling," "Endless Deep") or simply happy ("Hallelujah Here She Comes"). Only the covers are overly weak; their version of "Everlasting Love" seems a bit too close to Gloria...
Over the years I have watched "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on a regular basis. Like many Americans, I have been entertained by her interviews with everyone from Michael Jordan to LeAnn Rimes to Meryl Streep. I've watched Oprah make potato salad with Patti Labelle, dance with Tina Turner and Gloria Estefan, and sing with Elton John.

And the best performance came from vocalist Joe Williams, 79, who sang a swinging, confident rendition of one of his signature songs, Every Day I Have the Blues, and, a few minutes later, did a small dance...
Indeed, Pullman is working on deals with Crosby, Stills and Nash; the heirs of author John Steinbeck; and writers for the Seinfeld TV show. He's also working on a deal with songwriters for Tupac Shakur, Kim Carnes, Heart, Patti Smith, Joan Jett, Rod Stewart and Pat Benatar. Their royalties and those of other songwriters will be bundled and sold as bonds by year-end, Pullman says. He predicts half a dozen similar deals next year...
...himself years ago. John Cale's legend began with the release of the first Velvet Underground album in 1967. After being forced out of the band following the release of the band's second record, Cale followed a career of producing albums for artists as diverse as Nico, Patti Smith, The Stooges and Siouxsie and the Banshees. His solo albums range from rock to avant-garde classical music, with Cale playing acoustic guitar, keyboard and nearly every instrument in between...
