Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash got passes because they were sui generis. Not so Buck Owens, who in 1965, after a few experimental dalliances, took out an advertisement with a career-saving loyalty oath, "Pledge to Country Music," in the Music City News, promising, "I Shall Sing No Song That...

Within this internationally acclaimed South African film, Hood brilliantly finds a sympathetic, yet not syrupy sweet, way to embrace life’s tragedies and also showcase its victories. Street-hooligan-turned-gang-leader Tsotsi, played by Presley Chweneyagae in his debut role, is from a township (ghetto) outside of Johannesburg, South Africa’s golden metropolis.
