...Patrick's Day a couple of years ago, I found myself in the ideal spot to celebrate the occasion - the highlands of Papua New Guinea, as far from New York City as it is possible to be without the aid of a Saturn booster. My hosts lived in the Stone Age, perhaps a generation removed from head-hunting, but they seemed to me, on the whole, more civilized than those whey-faced, bleary tribesmen back in New York (some of my own savage people, long ago) who were busy honoring their particular heritage by vomiting in the gutters outside...
...still on top of their games. No Doubt continued to feed off of the success of Tragic Kingdom, releasing nominally successful singles like "Excuse Me Mister" and "Sunday Morning." Who knew that a little red dress and some fruit could go so far? The recently released Return of Saturn boasts two wildly successful singles already, namely "New" and "Ex-Girlfriend."

On the standout Simple Kind of Life, Stefani mulls the crossroads of womanhood: "I always thought I'd be a mom/Sometimes I wish for a mistake/The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get." She does bittersweet...
...other things, his belief that there might be other worlds and other life-forms beyond Earth. In our Star Trekking age, it's now almost heretical not to believe in extraterrestrial life--a belief that will surely be fortified by last week's announcement of the discovery of two Saturn-size planets around two distant stars...
