Cowboy Troy's debut album, Loco Motive, was just released on the Muzik Mafia's Warner Bros. imprint, Raybaw (red and yellow, black and white) Records. Says Troy: "I'm rapping over pedal-steel guitar, lap steel, Dobro, fiddle and other country instruments. In the Muzik Mafia we call it hick-hop, and we think its time has come. Country is ready to expand its boundaries." There are signs he may be right. Nelly and Tim McGraw recently had a hit with the style-mixing duet Over and Over, Jack White of the White Stripes produced a Grammy-winning album...
...19th century frescoes, two Senators who rarely vote the same way on anything were doing things the old-fashioned way: putting their silver heads--and their combined 72 years of Senate experience--together in an effort to pull their less seasoned colleagues back from the brink. Virginia Republican John Warner and West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd had each brought a copy of the Constitution and were poring over Alexander Hamilton's "Federalist No. 66" to see if they could discern precisely what the Founding Fathers meant when they gave the Senate the power to advise the President on whom...
...Warner, who has the aquiline look and formal bearing that sometimes seem right out of Henry Clay's era, has made no secret of his discomfort over the fact that he would even have to cast a vote on the filibuster. "I've been here 27 years," he said. "I have the greatest respect for this institution and how it's served this country all these years." Democratic leader Harry Reid said he had heard private misgivings about the wisdom of changing Senate tradition even from Republicans who publicly pledged to support Frist on the vote...
That a showdown was not more easily avoided reflects a generational shift under way in the Senate, and the fact that the once insular institution has become more reflective of the polarized political landscape around it. Moderates, of either party, are few. Traditionalists like Warner have increasingly been supplanted by a younger generation of Republican Senators, most of whom have arrived there by way of the more autocratic House, where on most questions it doesn't make any difference to the outcome whether the Democrats even show up to vote. In the 2004 election, six of the seven Republican freshmen...
This Tasmanian dreamboat used to rail at his swashbuckler stardom; he thought of himself as a character actor trapped in a leading man's body, and he ached to play serioso parts. But the bosses at Warner Bros. were no dopes; they knew that Flynn's roguish presence was made to add luster to grand escapades like Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk. Even George Custer could be a hero when Flynn played him, in They Died with Their Boots On. This handsome five-movie collection includes a fine documentary, The Adventures of Errol Flynn, that comes close to capturing...
