...child, in the language of the time, she would have been considered uneducable. Zackheim contends that Mileva, unable to place the little girl for adoption or send her to an orphanage, left her with her parents at their home in Serbia's rural Vojvodina region on the fertile Danube plain...

...while waiting for the video to start. Too bad their programs weren't half as good as their marketing pitch. The daily news show was supposed to be funny, but it wasn't. Girl's Locker Talk was a cheesy sex-talk show, and In the Neighborhood was just plain strange: viewers got to follow a guy wandering around Venice Beach, Calif., trying to pick up women and hanging out with eccentric friends...

...folks were definitely moving to old favorites like "Hurts So Bad," a jumping reggae romp with a mercilessly catchy beat. Ty Gibbons' six-string fretless bass moved beautifully in some of their slower songs like "Sweet May Hill", while Ian Steams' precise guitar-work was more delta blues than plain ol' rock-and-roll. Refreshingly, there was no one lead singer or star to this show--the guitar and bass were mic-ed equally, the drums and Frisbay's scat were given their due.
