...Mitchell is in a good mood and in good voice, and she delivers a jazzy, ebullient set, floating through a few songs from her latest CD, Taming the Tiger. Then, alone with her guitar, she offers up a spare, resonant reading of her gently anthemic song Woodstock. "We are stardust...And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden..." she sings. The lyrics seem to belong to another age, an era of idealism and Abbie Hoffman and moon landings and electric Kool-Aid acid tests and B-52s bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail. But even...
Similarly, this year's playoff results do not approach the woefulness of the sweeps in 1988 and 1990. Note: I regard the 1995 season, in which the Sox were swept in three games by the Tribe, as a sacred, marvelous aberration, a magnificent stardust leap from oblivion to glory.

...time, a whole new generation of talent had broken into Gershwin's gold mine and was digging away merrily for songs like Stardust, Stormy Weather and Dancing in the Dark.

...orange-haired, androgynous icon of the 1970s and '80s, singer-songwriter David Bowie proved himself one of rock's more adaptable creatures. Now 50, the creator of such best-selling albums as The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars has become the first entertainer of any stripe to "securitize" himself. Last month staid insurance companies turned into rock-bond groupies, excitedly buying up $55 million of so-called Bowie Bonds privately placed by Fahnestock & Co., a New York City investment firm...
