...français "formidable!" Satch, Trummy Young, Billy Kyle and the rest broil their venerable chops in a sweetly swingin' 12-bar blues. And Bing leads them, a simpatico impresario, with a suave verve. Beneath the famous Crosby savoir-faire, we for once sense the adolescent thrill he must have felt back in the mid-'20s, when he first heard Armstrong create the naughty form of music that Bing made nice...
...nation's longest-running reality show. We watch their movies to laugh or cry or defy death. We watch their lives so we can dream. So rich! So beautiful! And when they fall, we must admit, we feel a bit better about ourselves. But this time, the thrill is missing. For there was always something vulnerable about the Tom and Nicole marriage. When they wed 11 years ago, both were still in their twenties. It's easier to grow apart than to grow together. Despite their efforts never to spend more than two weeks apart, it was often a long...

The danger is financial: after entrance fees, host commissions and nosebleed-priced drinks, a customer can rack up a $10,000 bill...
...digital downloads, it seems such an obsolete medium. Who wants to be forced into a cookie-cutter genre (college rock or classic rock or oldies) and asked to love everything in it? On the other hand, it must also be at least a year since I've had the thrill of discovering a toe-tapping tune from an unknown artist completely by accident. This is what happens when you enter the world of Napster and MP3s. You tend to play it safe, downloading artists you know or songs you remember from childhood. It eventually gets stale...
