Meanwhile, Willie Nelson is promoting the idea of running cars on recycled vegetable oil. Last year the country singer launched a fuel called BioWillie, a blend of diesel and vegetable oil that he says is more efficient and burns cleaner than conventional diesel. Any diesel engine can run on BioWillie, which is available at gas stations in four Midwestern states. "It's better for the farmer to grow fuel than for us to go around starting wars to get it," says Nelson, who concedes that cars powered by his diesel blend emit fumes that can smell like French fries.

...agents for political asylum. The first sign that he was no ordinary defector came when the agents ran a computer check on his identity. "All of a sudden," recalls the Cuban, "they were shaking my hand, congratulating me, asking for my autograph." Was he a political dissident? A pop singer? A baseball pitcher? In fact, in his own realm he was an even bigger catch.

...Brian Chase somehow lights the fire by pounding on his snare drum, and waif-thin Nick Zinner strums, in a change of pace for the YYYs, an acoustic guitar before smashing it and adding dozens of ill-fated instruments to the bonfire. This cuts back and forth with sexy singer Karen O, draped in a gold dress, fire in her eyes and dirt on her face, contorting, howling, and shaking while singing “We build a fire when the color’s getting brighter.” The setting, the visual effects, and the charisma...
...debate. In a polarization that haunts hardcore to this day, SOIA came across as bonehead sell-outs, and Born Against as self-righteous aesthetes.But feuds rarely reach such lofty abstractions, centering more often on clothing styles and record sales. Most hilariously, the dude from Fall Out Boy ridiculed the singer of the Killers for wearing too much makeup. Emo boy, methinks thou dost protest too much!Contemporary rap music has perfected this combative sub-genre, taking it to the logical (and lucrative) extreme: artists on the same label exchange public barbs and bullets—50 Cent and the Game...
