...trying to define rock 'n' roll. Rock is the cooing on "Gimme Shelter", the dripping guitars on "Purple Haze", the riff that brings Pete Townshend's nimble strumming to new heights on "Pinball Wizard." It's Thom Yorke's nasal voice on "Paranoid Android" and the way Nirvana somehow managed to sound loud and muffled at the same time. But is it the saccharine harmonies of Abba's "Dancing Queen"? Pudgy dudes in Led Zeppelin T shirts would probably say no, but the 30 music historians, journalists and industry executives who make up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
...Green Zone's trailers tried skirting the I word by making the picture seem like another Bourne adventure in all but name. There was no more hint of America's fatal foreign policy frustrations in Iraq than there was of homosexuality in the trailers for A Single Man. But somehow, just possibly through the Internet, people know. Both films couldn't escape their true identity, and suffered - not for their sins but for their boldness. (See the top 10 CIA films...
...problems with aid. In the West, the famine of the 1980s was seen as a great natural disaster. Band Aid was so successful - it raised tens of millions of dollars - because it played on Westerners' sense of obligation to "save Africa" and their sense of guilt for somehow "allowing" the famine to happen.

...stock car into the car of fellow driver Brad Keselowski. Both were going about 180 m.p.h. Earlier in the race, Keselowski had bumped Edwards, sending him to the garage; Edwards admitted he was seeking revenge. Keselowski's car flipped in the air before crashing hood-down against the ground. Somehow Keselowski walked away unscathed. And somehow, NASCAR did not suspend Edwards for the next Sprint Cup race, to take place March 21 in Bristol, Tenn. He wasn't docked any of the points that determine the season champion, or even fined. NASCAR only put him on probation...
...That would be the case of the angry beer keg. About six years ago, the boys up in I-34 had an empty beer keg that somehow, on its own, managed to smash the bathroom sink into a thousand pieces. With a straight face they all reported no one knew how it happened. Everyone was out at the time, or supposedly it happened in the middle of the night when they all were asleep. Apparently the keg just rolled across the floor and on its own, hopped up on the sink and smashed it to pieces. Beware of empty kegs...
