Hootie & the Blowfish fuse blues and rock...
...music of Hootie & the Blowfish gets its charge from rock 'n' roll, but it's grounded in the blues. The quartet got together when its members were party-happy students at the University of South Carolina at Columbia. Lead singer Darius Rucker says the band was formed "to make a bit of money, drink a few beers and meet a lot of girls." That was nine years ago. On their major label debut, Cracked Rear View (Atlantic), the band still plays with frat- party swagger -- big, bearish guitar work, brawny drumming -- but Rucker's expressive, doleful vocals reveal an admirably...
...family of underachievers, the Simpsons have achieved quite a bit. In the show, Homer has been a monorail conductor and a baseball mascot; he won a Grammy (for Outstanding Soul, Spoken Word or Barbershop Album) and survived eating a deadly blowfish.

Conversely, they are never so lost, dejected, and confused as when they get what they want. Rather than suffer from such a fate, the Protesters will...
...such simple, solid fare as hamburgers, braised shoulder of lamb, German vegetable beef soup and French crullers. He gives meat loaf some style by way of jalapeno peppers, tenderizes and flavors broiled duck with a ginger-and-wine-vinegar marinade and imparts a herbaceous Provence fragrance to the lowly blowfish. Clams in black bean sauce, beef stew in a pumpkin, and mousse of sea scallops are among the showier offerings. Seafood cookery and baking are his specialties; the first is the feature of his own restaurant in ^ Greenwich Village, and the second is the way he originally earned his high...
