...drummer. He gave the early hits a clean, full sound. And as Lennon and McCartney grew apart, but even more impressively grew, as songwriters, each found in the elder Martin an ideal ear and musical mind, a kind of co-creator. It was Martin who put a string quartet under Paul's solo guitar rendition of "Yesterday" - the first of many flabbergasting expansions of the Beatles' basic rock 'n' roll sound - and who helped alchemize John's "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I Am the Walrus" into coherent electronic chaos...
...Linda, Linda, Linda is another high-school drama, 180 degrees from Cromartie. Similar to, but not nearly so engaging as, the Disney TV-movie hit High School Musical, this one is an earnest, virtually all-girl story about a quartet who hope to win their year-end talent competition with a rendition of the Blue Hearts? 80s hit song that is this movie?s title.

With the bats, meanwhile, the lethal 1-2-3-4 punch of Matt Vance, Lance Salsgiver, Wilson, and Josh Klimkiewicz paced the onslaught.

With Vance and Salsgiver, who stole 18 bags...
...anticipation for the opening-night film was so sizable, so tense and tangy, it was almost erotic. Think of it: a big new movie from an Oscar-winning quartet - star Tom Hanks, director Ron Howard, producer Brian Grazer, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. Yet nearly as soon as The Da Vinci Code began, the critics fell into a peckish mood. At the end of a long, soggy film, the black-tie swells went off to their parties, and the critics slumped away to write their regretful pans. Though we didn't know it then, The Da Vinci Code experience would turn...
