...Walk,” begins, “Consider me a widow boys and I will tell you why / It’s not the man but the marriage that was drowned.” Presumably because of lyrics like this, and her reluctance or inability to wail, Vega’s output has been classified as “mature” music, without question more of a curse than a blessing in this age of ever younger, nubile stars. Yet, as Dylan proves conclusively, “maturity”—or at least getting...
There are disputes about several identities. Flight 11's Mohamed Atta and Satam Al Suqami appear to have used their real names, but there has been confusion over the names of other men on the flight.

That's not quite the mattress, but as the bedrock of Americans' retirement goals--401(k) assets--keeps withering, you can practically hear the people wail, "Where, oh where, have you gone, Bob Rubin? What, oh what, will you do, Alan Greenspan...
...recent years, with her girly, high-pitched delivery ripened into a strong-woman wail, Fassie has entered a new phase of her career. The kids call her the Queen of Kwaito, a pulsating pop style that exploded out of the townships in the early '90s and that Fassie quickly adopted. Kwaito (slang for "these guys are hot") fuses slowed American house and hip-hop, British garage and Jamaican reggae, held together with laid-back bass lines and percussion from traditional African chants.
