...novel, he does not infuse enough of this music into his language and text. Ormus' songs lie flat on the page, and Rushdie's descriptions of VTO's music often leave more questions than answers. Rushdie also fails to deliver completely on his promise to present a rock version of Orpheus and Eurydice. Though he invokes the myth to great effect at the beginning of the novel, the theme is ultimately neglected. Perhaps Rushdie stretched himself too much by venturing into the world of rock, a realm he seems to know a bit about through association, but that just...
...Clash, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Television and the Sex Pistols. Both of these groupings arose organically through an interaction between music makers and music listeners; yet both also have lost this political consciousness as a consolidated movement. Who could defend the entire genre of folk or punk rock in light of the immense diversity of contemporary artistry?

U.S. diplomatic facilities in Chinese cities came under fire from enraged rock-throwing demonstrators Saturday, following NATO's overnight bombing of China's Belgrade embassy that killed four people and wounded 26. The error -- which NATO officials said resulted from an intelligence failure in which the building was wrongly identified as a Yugoslav arms procurement office -- may further cloud the troubled relationship between Washington and Beijing. China denounced the act as "barbaric," demanded that NATO immediately halt its bombing campaign. Russia backed that call, insisting that the peace plan agreed with...
