...been told. This may be the show-business version of an urban myth, but like any myth, it speaks to a genuine fear. And as it happens, the Writers Guild of America released a study last week showing that the older a writer is, the more likely he or she is to be unemployed: while 73% of film and television writers in their 20s are working, the figure drops to 59% for those in their 30s, and on down to 32% for those in their 50s.

Worth the extra money alone are U2's haunting, dark version of Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" and the U2 originals "Spanish Eyes" and "Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)." Other songs are brooding ("Love Comes Tumbling," "Endless Deep") or simply happy ("Hallelujah Here She Comes"). Only the covers are overly weak; their version of "Everlasting Love" seems...
