...moment, it seemed like the age of the ubiquitous tuna roll were about to end. When both the U.S. and the European Union announced earlier this month that they would support adding the Atlantic bluefin tuna to the United Nation's list of endangered species, it looked as if a majority of countries might agree to prohibit international trade of the fish. But at Thursday's meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in Doha, Qatar, member states voted 72 to 43 against such...
...some sense, the dynamic from eight years ago is still in play. Back then, both the American hierarchy and the Roman Curia struggled to respond to a spiraling series of revelations while resisting calls for heads to roll among those Church leaders judged responsible for their poor handling of abusive priests. But what makes the current situation particularly delicate is that the head that some critics want served up is none other than that of the Pope himself.

But soon the museum will encounter subgenre mania: contemporary rock music expanded exponentially in the '80s and '90s, shooting off one way into hip-hop, another way into alternative, still another into emo. With such a broad definition of rock 'n' roll, the museum may one day find itself struggling to fit acts like N.W.A. and Pavement into one induction ceremony. There really isn't one definition of what makes a song or band "rock" anymore. There is just music we like, songs that make us feel good. Those first few bars...
...that's just me. I asked some friends and co-workers to define rock 'n' roll in one song. Here is what they came up with...
