...Swedish band, the Cardigans, it resides in the encounter of contrary instincts--the sweet, seductive purr of joyful music and the dark, cruel snarl of painful obsessions. Remember "Lovefool," the song from a couple of years ago that burst off the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack and was suddenly, like the fixated ex-lover it depicted, lurking stubbornly everywhere you looked?

...Odessa's serenity combined with his daddy Cassius Sr.'s maddening braggadocio sold tickets, captivated journalists and drove opponents clear up the wall. The phrase "I am the greatest" seems to have been almost Ali's first words, but the joke was that the words were absolutely true. The sweet little motormouth from Louisville, Ky., was about to become the greatest fighter in history, fast as a flyweight, strong as an ox and sly as a fox, with time left over to recite poetry between punches...

...well-known outside of heavy metal circles, this band from Athens, Georgia is often compared to Kiss, Motorhead and AC/DC--they get their rather original name from the time Ted Nugent dedicated "Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang" at a Tennessee concert to "all that Nashville pussy...
