...irony that is the hallmark of some of the Counting Crows’ best songs, like “Mr. Jones” and “Rain King.” “You Can’t Count on Me” is the most overtly pop-infused song off the album and also its first single. Despite its infectious hook and simple, singsong chorus, it still features unexpected lyrics. It’s easy to mistake the words of the chorus for the cliché “you can count...
...mainstream titles are far more prevalent. He also says people come in to say what comics they’ve read and ask for recommendations, but that such walk-ins are not their bread and butter.“How we stay afloat is by branching out more into pop culture,” Reyes says. “You can sell a $3 comic to someone, but we’re right across the street from the Charles Hotel, so if you have a tourist who sees a $20 toy in the window, we want that toy sold...

Voters might well wonder if McCain will fade in the White House--or if Obama has the seasoning for the office. So far, both candidates have kept the age issue at bay. McCain can discuss pop culture as fluidly and astutely as any politician. (He also benefits from terrific genes: note his lively 96-year-old mother Roberta.) Obama, for his part, has projected gravitas and judgment--and has rallied a flood of young voters who could offset those still wary of the new whippersnapper...
