Last month, President Clinton headlined a Meehan fundraiser in Lowell, adding about $140,000 to the $1.7 million in Meehan's campaign account--even though Meehan had no opponent in the general election...
...Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim, credited with "open groove surgery." Critics have often described Heaton's lyrics as bitter and cynical (the band's previous female vocalist reputedly left because of one of the lyrics). But on Painting it Red, Heaton comes across as a defender of true love, even if he rarely sinks to clichd subjects and metaphors, singing about love through old age and rages against infidelity and abuse.

From the outset, raunchy guitars and charging drums assault the eardrums on "Come Out Swinging", underpinning Holland's atonal shout as he reminds you that even though the Offspring have become mainstream mainstays, their roots still lie in punk. But even as the band seems poised and ready once again to pierce bubble-gum pop as they did on their notorious single "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" (off Americana), they decide instead to take...
