Students, even the Muslims and Buddhists that administrators say are on campus, must attend chapel three mornings a week, but the service can feel as much like a pep rally as church. Stuffed onto risers and folding chairs in the event center, the young adults sing along, raise their arms and sway as student Christian rock and gospel groups perform. Leaning on a lectern in front of a towering video screen, campus pastor Chris Brown, in jeans, sneakers and a goatee, cuts from photos of A.P.U. students "who need our prayers" to a scene from the Jim Carrey movie Bruce...
...Stewart's It Had to Be You ... The Great American Songbook was the first pop-music album I've bought in years. Stewart may be a master of "tawdry sincerity," but after rock 'n' roll, heavy metal and rap, it is a great pleasure to hear (and sing along with) the old standards. So Stewart isn't Frank Sinatra.

Paley’s mother never invites me to Seder again...
When the average Japanese salaryman heads home each evening, the last song he wants to hear on his car radio or television is his corporate anthem, the tune he is compelled to sing at year-end parties or, even worse, while performing morning calisthenics in the factory yard. Pity, therefore, the workers of Yokohama-based Nihon Break Kogyo Co. After a popular midnight variety show, Asahi TV's Tamori Club, played its shaka [anthem], the company was bombarded with feedback from viewers until it finally decided to release the song as a single. It debuted last week...
