...Around.” (“Whenever you call me, I’ll be waiting / Whenever you need me, I’ll be there.) The rest of the songs aren’t too different. Every track is clearly an emulation of an older, better artist. Whether it’s Paul McCartney (on “A New Door”), Tom Petty (“I Want To Go Home”), Prince (“Will You Marry Me”), or Jimi Hendrix (“Bring It On”), none...
...1950s prime. He nostalgically recalls his innately photogenic presence, and he isn’t wrong. At 23, Baker was a jazz Adonis, with an air of mystery and rebellion not unlike James Dean. These images are hypnotic enough that as Weber cuts to footage of a considerably older man, the viewer can hardly believe that it is Baker himself, making the transition into the sordid tale of his undoing all the more chilling.The intervening years weren’t kind to Baker.

Both Clinton...
...this month. That low matched the February 1996 score of former President Jacques Chirac, after a bitter three-week national strike derailed a proposed pension reform - and led to the left's return to power the following year. Pollsters ascribe Sarkozy's descent to the defection of older and traditional conservative voters resentful of his high-profile love life and unabashed materialism, and to still undelivered promises to rev up France's sputtering economy...
