...first thrashing chords of Burgerkill's five-song set blast out of the faulty sound system. They've waited all night for this, the headline act of Headbangers in Hell, a night that has featured Painkiller, Thrashline, Accidental Hero and 20 other bands. We're not at the Toledo Speedway or a dive bar in New York. This is JK7, the latest Jakarta venue brave enough to host the growing metal scene that forms just a small part of a burgeoning Indonesian alternative music scene that includes hundreds of indie pop, electronic and rock acts. More than 1,400 bands...
...clothes come off. He's not ripped, more rippled. In comedic terms, exposing himself is a near Christian act of self-sacrifice. "I don't think anybody believes me, but I try not to be gratuitous about it," says Ferrell, who streaked in Old School, ran around a speedway in his underwear in Talladega, was a shirtless Bible salesman on SNL, worked out bare chested in his office in Anchorman and ... you get the point.

At the airport, over 500 private jets touched down to deliver more fans, among them Fortune 500 CEOs and team owners like Richard Childress, who spent their time in suites and luxury trailers. But the most telling sign that NASCAR is outgrowing its good-ole-boy, moonshine-running roots was the spectators in the Nextel Fan Zone, who didn't hesitate to plunk down $50 a bottle...
...BOMBINGS FOR WHICH KIMBERLIN was convicted--the motives are unknown-- maimed one man and terrified the town of Speedway, Ind. Kimberlin still professes his innocence, although when he was arrested, authorities found timers in his possession matching the ones used in the bombs. After his release from prison in 1993, Kimberlin pursued a musical career and an import-export business, eventually landing in his mother's basement in suburban Washington with a wife and two children. It is a constrained existence. The one-room apartment, with its low, dropped ceiling and stuccoed walls, has room for a double...
