...brand was born in 1992, when the group became an underground sensation by developing an urban-gangster-as-warrior persona based on old kung fu movies (RZA's passion). Wu-Tang has since evolved into a hybrid of Pokemon and Dungeons and Dragons, prepackaged for suburban teens and complete with video games, comics and, coming soon, animated films. It's all embodied in Wu-Tang's stamp of approval: a Batman-like chubby...
Augustine and Walsh attack an inconsistent text with ambition and energy. It is rare to see a musical that is smart, but the direction and choreography of this production make it just that. The use of swings in the Coney Island scene provide a visual metaphor for the suburban front-porch-swing respectability for which Charity longs, and the choreography of a dance scene in which the women shake their breasts and the men perform pelvic thrusts, and then switch roles, provides a welcome gender-bender in a musical which at times seems dated.

After becoming disgusted with the Los Angeles scene, the Foo Fighters, now consisting of Grohl, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer Taylor Hawkins, spent most of 1999 holed up at Grohl's house in suburban Virginia tweaking their sound. The results on There Is Nothing Left to Lose speak for themselves. Big abrasive choruses and guitar riffs still surround Grohl's plaintive melodies. But the emphasis has shifted to the melodies, especially on radio-ready tracks such as "Learn...
