...Porsches come in chocolate brown? After 92 years as an employee-owned, privately held bastion of brown-suited Americana, UPS has heard the stock market?s siren song. The company will sell 10 percent of itself in a public offering later this year. And TIME Wall Street columnist Daniel Kadlec says this brown-paper package is going to go like hotcakes. "This is the most direct nondirect way to get invested in the Internet," he says. "Fed Ex stock has done very well as a way to cash in on the e-tailing boom through shipping ?- and UPS ships four...
...gonna be your friend..." Something about that voice--tremulous, tender, tough--recalls Bob Marley, more than a little bit. But check out the album credits.

A cover of a song that was a hit for J. Frank Wilson & the Cavaliers in 1964, Last Kiss is on the compilation album No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees. Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder decided to cover the tune after finding a 45 of it in an antiques store...
There are the obvious ones, of course. I first had romantic contact with a girl whilst music was playing (it was a dance). I remember MTV as well as you do.
