...with any of your buddy's selections, there are bound to be some agreements and disappointments. Diddley doing his classic blues tune "I'm a Man" really can't fail under any circumstances, and Eric Clapton's blistering guitar work on Cream's "I Feel Free" succeeds in any decade, while Frank Sinatra could croon names from the phone book and still make it sound mellifluous. Unfortunately, the producers have tried to put cast member Little Steven onto one selection, "Inside of Me", and he sounds like a poor man's Bob Dylan (who incidentally appears on "Gotta Serve Somebody...
...Next Best Thing was directed by Englishman John Schlesinger, an Academy Award-winning veteran of such classic dramatic fare as Midnight Cowboy, Sunday, Bloody Sunday and Marathon Man. While I do admire his attempt to stretch, Schlesinger, so skillful at creating dramatic conflict, does not appear to be as comfortable with the lighter material, and interplay between the various supporting characters often appears a little forced.

Begin with core conservative voters. Move from there to rank-and-file Republicans. Then move to independents. Then move out to conservative Democrats." McCain has turned this approach on its head. His victories in New Hampshire and Michigan have been bolstered by the support of moderate Republicans, independents and Democrats...
...Gladwell tells us that Revere was a first-rate agent of contamination. On good historical evidence he was a classic networker, one of those barroom backslappers who belonged to half the organizations in colonial Boston. Not Dawes. On the night of his ride, Revere would have known just which anti-Royalists to alert along the road. Dawes, who may never have clanked a tankard with anybody, would have been clueless...
