When Pope John Paul II takes to the road, crowds are almost always huge and the mood celebratory. The Pontiff's magical spell, however, was abruptly snapped in the Netherlands last week during his 26th foreign journey. The Dutch, with 5.6 million Roman Catholics among 14.5 million citizens, accorded John Paul a remarkably unfriendly reception. There were street riots and also barbed comments from his hosts...
...intensity and impact of Dubuffet's career were all the more vivid for its late start. Born in Le Havre in 1901, he followed his father's trade as a wine merchant and (apart from one desultory spell as an art student in his teens, and another in the 1930s) did not commit himself to painting until after his 41st birthday.

This happens to me a lot, but most people would be taken aback, and would suspect such tenders. However, XTC is a relatively benign drug, and a few hours suffice to fade its apostles back down to our usual condition, where...
Much of the show was very sad, filled with songs telling of his troubles with his wife, Linda. Opening with a note-perfect rendition of "Where The Spell Is Broken," he followed with Glow I Wanted To" from Hand Of Kindness and later "Withered And Died" from Bright Lights, two morbidly depressing songs about the frustration of helplessly watching your relationships disintegrate. The ghost of Linda hovered in every note Thompson sang or played...
