...Hollywood couplings are as enduring as success and rehab. GEORGE CARLIN has managed to elude that phenomenon longer than most, but last week, as his latest book, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, spent its ninth week on the New York Times best-seller list, the comic announced that he was checking into a substance-abuse facility. In a statement, Carlin revealed he was headed to an unnamed clinic "because I use too much wine and Vicodin." He said his addiction is "nowhere near the worst you hear about ... but my use would have progressed, and I didn...

...which Morrissey sounds as silky as Johnny Mathis as he bashes his native land with traditional vocal preening. This comes as the second track, wedged between virulent creeds “America is Not the World” and “I Have Forgiven Jesus.” The album is jam-packed with these bold state-of-the-Moz addresses culminating in the disc’s best track, “The World Is Full of Crashing Bores,” which flies from arrogance to desperation in the span of a single verse...
