...they displayed an exuberant joy that is surprisingly undiminished by the passage of time. Then, once Bob Dylan showed him that lyrics could be personal, Lennon tapped into his feelings and revealed a gift for sensitivity and self-awareness that completely belied his oft-proclaimed status as "just a rocker...
...play opens as Tom's wife Nora and her youngest daughter Gail find Gail's husband, Junior, lying in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. From the first moment it is clear that Nora is off her rocker, an impression wonderfully conveyed by Brittani Sonnenberg '03, whose character manages to remain light and amusing even in the most insane situations.

...applied to '80s rock shirts this fashion season, they cut, slashed, fringed and studded campaign shirts for that oh-so-now glam-T look. Price: $25.

It seems strange that the man who has sold over 5 million albums around the world should be relatively unknown here. Even The Ego Has Landed, his critically acclaimed 1999 release, failed to appeal to the U.S. in a megastar way, although with the help of singles like "Angel" it did manage to sell enough here to achieve gold status. But all that could change with the release of his new record, Sing When You're Winning...
