...career to do a love-sick ballad album is a risk. For him to do it without any meddling from his record company is a minor miracle--and a tribute to Beck's business savvy. When he arrived on the scene with 1993's Loser, a lo-fi novelty hit from which most critics thought he would never recover, Beck was inundated with record offers trying to capitalize on his status as the Slacker Guy. "I could have gone with it," he says. "That could have been my shtick. But I wanted to be something a little more...
...album’s lo-fi AM radio feel is nothing new to Beck, who showed his folk muscle previously on 1994’s One Foot in the Grave and on 1997’s more eclectic Mutations, which up until now were his quietest and most beautiful records.

We Will Rock You, a sell-out hit in London that boasts Robert De Niro among its backers, sets more than 30 songs of the '70s rock band Queen to a jokey sci-fi fable about a future world where live music has been banned. Billy Joel's oeuvre has been matched to Twyla Tharp's choreography in Movin' Out, which is prepping in Chicago for a Broadway opening this fall. There's a Beach Boys musical in the works and another one on the Doors, and even...
