...approaching middle age, and after years of alcoholism, Hetfield, 39, says he's not only sober but also serious about making an album that deals with his new adult identity and responsibilities. St. Anger starts promisingly enough with Frantic, which has Hetfield growling over a classic, violent speed-metal riff, "If I could have my wasted days back/Would I use them to get back on track?" But that's pretty much it for the introspection. The rest of the album has Hetfield wailing like an extremely aggravated Cat in the Hat. On Invisible Kid he moans, "Invisible kid/Locked away...
...disappeared, and so did the fans. Jewel has taken the hint. 0304, produced by Lester Mendez (he helped Shakira cross over), aggressively mines rap, pop and dance in search of something that'll get you moving. Mendez isn't picky, and the first single, Intuition, opens with an accordion riff inspired by a Ms. Dynamite song. Still, it's a good riff, and Intuition is a tight, erotic song.

HUDS can better use its resources by shifting staff and—if necessary—transferring dishes between Houses to accommodate changing student eating habits. But another crucial step would be to open an alternative to fly-by in a central location, such as the Holyoke Center. This eating establishment would alleviate the rush on Adams and offer stranded quadlings (and Dunsterites) convenient food...
...reforms. But where do values and moral fiber come from? For Zimbabweans, there's one refrain - sometimes phrased differently, but always the same: "We need God." One of Mtukudzi's best-known songs outside Zimbabwe is Hear Me, Lord (1994), a high-speed ride to heaven on a guitar riff. The rousing plea for divine intervention was covered by American singer Bonnie Raitt. Perhaps better than any other song in his catalog, its lyrics sum up how Zimbabweans, many devoutly Christian like Tuku, feel today: "Help me Lord, I'm feeling low." "Zimbabwe needs God," says Fungisai Zvakanapano, a rising...
