...Confess.” Rusty (Caroline A. Jennings ’09) beats out Carrie Underwood any day in her rendition of “Let’s Hear it for the Boy.”Even if there is no particular superstar, Jonah C. Priour ’09 is definitely the show’s darling as the shy and hickish cowboy with his ceaseless spout of “Mama says.” His exaggerated western drawl, slouched walk, and eager country boy expressions are indisputably the icing of the show. Priour seems born...
Morrissey“Ringleader of the Tormentors”(Attack/Sanctuary)3.5 StarsAccording to an article in the ultra-hip mag The Believer, consummate mope-rocker Morrissey has found great success recently among a new and unexpected demographic—Latinos.

...affirmation of my faith in internationalism. In this belief, I am not blinded by my own idealism. The Games are not perfect. Since their original incarnation in Ancient Greece, there have been athletes who cheated for the sake of a token or who exploited their superstar status. There will always be those who resort to such methods, and it does not take technology or modernity.
