...Lonely,” masquerades as a more commercially and critically viable incarnation of their debut. Instead, this second outing feels like a regression from the first, and the band’s overall competency seems to be the only weapon against an inevitable fade into pop-rock homogeny.From the opening chords of the title track, it becomes apparent that something is amiss on “Consolers of the Lonely.” Nearly every song on the album seems to obey a sort of invisible rock template, a self-conscious mechanism that mindlessly plugs in choruses, verses, hooks...
That stance earned him death threats in punk rock songs and, if not pariah status in Hollywood, then the image of a cranky grandpa.

("Political correctness," he said in a 1999 speech at the Harvard Law School, "is tyranny with manners.") When Michael Moore came to the actor's home and confronted him, for the climactic scene of the 2002 pro-gun-control documentary Bowling for Columbine, Heston looked both gracious and stern, perplexed and frail...

Notorious B.I.G. once rapped, “If I wasn’t in the rap game / I’d probably have a key knee deep in the crack game / Because the streets is a short stop / Either you’re slingin’ crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot.” If those words of urban desperation don’t convey a political message, then nothing can. Contrary to the commonly held belief that rap is nothing more than an avenue for gangsters to obtain wealth and status, Marcus Reeves provides the necessary...
