...considering Springsteen and R.E.M. toured together in support of John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004. The crescendo of vocals and violins never reaches the emotional height it aspires to, and the song comes off as pleasant but jarringly un-Bosslike. “Girls In Their Summer Clothes” is another departure from the norm, an attempted fusion of Beach Boys pop and stadium rock that results in the album’s worst track. Springsteen has spent much of the past decade rallying opposition to the Bush administration, but “Magic?...
...Rather, his warmth can’t help but rub off everywhere, whether on stage or on his girlfriends. Kingston finds himself buying ice cream and snapping a picture of himself together with one of his many beloveds. Basking in the slowly-fading glow of Kingston’s summer hit “Beautiful Girls,” “Me Love” is an exceptionally sunny follow-up.

The world's two top sprinters, Tyson Gay of the United States and Asafa Powell, the 100-meter world record holder from Jamaica, have a nice little rivalry, and you'll hear about it ad nauseam in the months before the '08 games. But it's hard...
...They were battling on those fronts this week. Giuliani's folks have been dropping hints that Romney is weak on fiscal discipline, in part to strengthen their position in tax-obsessed New Hampshire. Romney, still ahead but slipping in the Granite state over the summer, has fired back with a radio ad noting that he alone has signed the no new taxes pledge. "I'm proud to be the only major candidate for President to sign the tax pledge," he says, "The others have not." Romney goes on in the ad to make another promise: he vows not merely...
