Their strength lies in generating sounds that are New Age and hip while at the same time slightly Stan Getz-y, especially in the playing of the tenor saxophone. This is apparent in the most beautiful piece on their album, "Sunset Bay." The softest and most tranquil by far, "Sunset Bay" takes you to the Bay Area where the artists grew up. Ultra simple drum programming with understated saxophone notes will make you think you are walking down the Embarcadero with your special someone. The same can be said about "Eventide;" yet this time, the brothers add flute and something...
...Laurel and Hardy--think a snappier Saps at Sea--except that the Stan and Ollie here are Tucci and co-star Oliver Platt. Tucci, incapable of a gross moment even in the slapstick, seasick exertions of shipboard burlesque, nicely approximates Laurel's high, piping whine as counterpoint to Platt's unctuous exasperation. They are two actors stowed away on a '40s-ish ocean liner, ever scurrying from a British stage star who wants them arrested, gelded, dead. Also onboard are a deposed queen (Isabella Rossellini), a gay tennis player (Billy Connolly), a Teutonic chief steward (Campbell Scott) and a suicidal...
Moreover, even as he challenged black establishments, Williams gathered friends in white ones.

Greenberg's wife Rosa DeLauro, a Congresswoman from Connecticut, also became a friend. Other prominent New England families helped advance his career...
...show concerns four friends--Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny--who live in the small town of South Park, Colo. Obsessed by bodily functions, sometimes cruel but with a core of innocence, Kyle and Stan are modeled on Parker and Stone, while Cartman, the greedy fat kid, is a deranged fantasy figure and Kenny, who talks in meaningless muffled squeaks, dies violently in each episode (except the Christmas one). Kyle's exclamation, "Oh, my God, they've killed Kenny!," has become a catchphrase. The only sympathetic adult is Chef, the cook at the school, who drifts into a racy...
Some guys can just hold an audience. In baseball, no matter the score, fans have never left the park until Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Willie Mays or Junior Griffey has had his last turn at-bat. And at Wrigley Field, even if the Cubs trailed by 10, no one ever left before Harry Caray sang Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Only then was the experience complete. Hey, Elvis, wherever you are--your pal Harry has left the building...
