...film's multiple-location, multiple-plot, multiple-time evokes Katherine Hepburn in the classic "Two for the Road," but is all the rage with contemporary young directors. Chelsom's cinematography works through "Funny Bones" with far more subtlety than current darling Quentin Tarintino has ever mustered, and with far less pretension...
...several years now, the most powerful and mysterious force in American politics has been a free-floating populist rage. It's been directed at Washington and politicians this time, instead of at populism's traditional targets of Wall Street and businessmen. Stoked by radio-talk-show hosts, worshipped by fearful pols, the new populism created the movements for term limits and the balanced-budget amendment; turned Ross Perot's presidential bid from an eccentric billionaire's ego trip into a historic event; and ultimately led to last November's upheaval, in which Republicans won control of Congress for the first...
...always drawn from the blues. Last year MCA released a terrific CD of blues songs titled Blues recorded between 1966 and 1970 by guitar genius Jimi Hendrix.

That's why many young musicians are adding a blue tint to new albums such as British-born screecher PJ Harvey's "To Bring You My Love," Houston native Chris Whitley's "Din of Ecstasy" and Louisianan Chris Thomas' "21st Century Blues From Da Hood."TIME critic Christopher John Farleysays Harvey's music lacks "subtlety or grace," while Whitley's album is "painfully, almost uncomfortably honest." But it's not all bad. Farley says Thomas' work features a "crunching beat, brash...
...song was no love ballad. Its images were graphic, and many of the lyrics on the album, "Straight Outta Compton," were downright misogynist. But Wright was dead on in describing the rage minorities feel, often justifiably, towards law enforcement. After the Los Angeles riots bore out his point, Wright told the L.A. Times: "We were criticized a lot when we first released that song, but I guess now after what happened...people might look differently on the situation...
