...between the language of socialism and the hard, sometimes disastrous, realities of daily life. While some chose to lie low and compromise, Liu insisted on writing about what he saw. If there is bullying, say so. If corruption exists, give the details. If newspapers carry falsity, don't pretend it's a different kind of truth...
...four cellos. I saw them in concert earlier this semester and they are even better live. They started out covering Metallica, and those covers are their best. 2.

I have to remind myself that there will ALWAYS be people willing to pay 50 bucks to watch country singers pretend to play the guitar while dangling from trapezes. If this is the only demand major labels are feeling, what’s to prevent them from dropping everyone but Toby Keith and buying him a longer trapeze and a bigger cowboy hat? Let’s not play elitists once...
