...Because of the genre cross-pollination, the show has fewer of those spine-tingling moments when the audience sings along as one, though when those moments do come--as in OutKast's B.O.B. (Bombs over Baghdad), which had everyone chanting along gospel-style, "Pow-er, music, electric revival"--they tend to mean a little more...
...alarmists here in the States - who's got the time, with prices so low? - but we do tend to rally around a good crisis.

And it's all yours. The only hikers up here tend to be hardcore backpackers who cut off their toothbrush handles to lighten their loads. You're not even winded. Charlie Cox, a carpet-store owner from Glenwood Springs who heads the local snowmobilers' club, stares at a sheer red cliff glowing in the distance. "This is something we don't tell...
