Little Richard and Yoko Ono, though few on rock's current A-list, made it to the ribbon-cutting ceremony today in Cleveland for the $92 million Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a six-story glass and steel pyramid that may actually be worth the investment. "It's a very important museum," says music critic Christopher John Farley. "It is a lot more than seeing Bruce Springsteen's junior college poetry. It documents the history of an American art form. It's a great looking building that really captures the spirit of the music." The museum opens Saturday...
...detail it holds, yet at the same time it's not in color." As for Garcia's guitar playing, Costello says it "wasn't a question of virtuosity for its own sake, dazzling with millions of notes. It had a lovely tone and touch, and even when he played steel guitar, he added his personality and humor...
...these reasons the modern age of deep-sea exploration had to wait for two key technological developments: engineer Otis Barton's 1930 invention of the bathysphere--essentially a deep-diving tethered steel ball--and the invention of scuba (short for "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus") by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan in 1943. Swimmers had been trying to figure out how to get oxygen underwater for thousands of years. Sponge divers in ancient Greece breathed from air-filled kettles; bulky-helmeted diving suits linked by hose to the surface first appeared in the 1800s. But it wasn't until...
...Something to Talk About' is, by far, the best picture Roberts has made since 'Pretty Woman.' In many ways, she reprises the roles she has held in other films--as a Southern belle in 'Steel Magnolias'; as a beautiful but tough woman in 'Mystic Pizza'; as a doe-eyed heroine with a rebellious streak in 'Pretty Woman.' Roberts has this role down pat: she plays the scenes where she is hurting with believable emotion, and she raises hell in her small town, all the while struggling with some serious life decisions...
...just one song on it these days: Shania Twain's Any Man of Mine. This chirpy feminist anthem, so popular that it has inspired a parody version by a male singer, is generic pop at its most infectious. It has a little festival of familiar tropes: fiddles and steel guitars, drawling humor and tight harmonies, a pounding melody echoing Neil Young's Love Is a Rose and some "yeahs" filched from Ray Charles. There's even a snatch of rap, square-dance style, as it might be rendered by a cheerleader at Buford Pusser High...
