...first memo, which actually dates from 1929, before the avalanche begins, brusquely dismisses Rin-Tin-Tin. The introduction of talking pictures, argues one Warner executive, has turned their canine star into just another unemployed hound, "very obviously, of course, because dogs don't talk." To the regret of Jack Warner, who ran the studios (Brother Harry was president and Albert was treasurer), his other stars could talk and often did. When Davis objects to being cast in something called Hollywood Hotel (1937), her withering look can be seen between her lines to him: "I have worked very hard to become...

"And now I'm doing something that I didn't know I was capable of." On the track Tin Pan Valley - an electrifying mix of synth pulses, slide guitar and some good old heavy-metal thunder - he rails against musicians who "live on former glory," "flirt with cabaret" and "fake the rebel yell." A shot across the bow at Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger? Plant will only hint that...
What's in Darien, Conn., that it produced you, Chloë Sevigny, Moby and Kate Bosworth? I don't know. I was in a summer theater program with Chloë--she was the Scarecrow and I was the Tin Man in Wizard...
