...Dalys and scored Carson his first few radio-deejay jobs. They eventually worked together at L.A.'s alternative-rock station KROCK, which led to Daly's MTV job. For the short time he was at the station, when he was one of the first people to play shock rocker Marilyn Manson, guys actually thought Daly was cool. He says the experience makes being a Tiger Beat pinup more palatable. "I've already been in that too-cool-for-school world, and I didn't like it. It's so judgmental," he says...
DIED. LANCE LOUD, 50, journalist, punk rocker and eldest son of the Santa Barbara, Calif., Loud family, whom PBS filmed for 300 hours for the groundbreaking 1973 documentary An American Family; of complications from hepatitis C; in Los Angeles.

But the real shockers are the songs that...
...Ryan Adams Gold (Lost Highway) There's an aroma of the young, freewheeling Bob Dylan in the organ and acoustic-guitar textures beloved by this urban folk rocker. On his lyric sheet, word games take a backseat to riffs on love, youth and empty pockets. Boomers nostalgic for their hitchhiking days, as well as their children thumbing a ride to the city for the first time, will find something to get weepy over...
