...current application, is immense, possibly unrivaled. Young is a more insular artist whose stormy tenure with Crosby, Stills and Nash brought him his first fast shot of celebrity. Twelve subsequent solo albums have sold erratically but, all together, form a body of work hard to beat for reckless honesty and his own kind of compound romanticism, which can veer sharply from sentimental to sulfuric at the bend of a lyric. Dylan both mocked and gloried in his informal ordination as a generation's prophet. Young, fully as ambitious in his music, kept closer to the ground than Dylan...

...watching Sunday's game were making the same daft but splendid decision. And it is an even safer bet that kids everywhere, especially in the soccer-hungry U.S., already are practicing Bette-ga's graceful, evasive running, Dutch star Arand Haan's booming shot and the reckless headers of Argentina's Leopoldo Luque...
