Having moved to Santa Cruz in 1980, Tojo has honed a distinct "New Age Haiku" style. Brief, unpunctuated lyrics like "clear water clear mind" make up wise songs with titles like "Ancient River," "Clear Clarity (Clear air - ty)" and "Way of the Universe.
At 61, Deborah Harry, the iconic lead singer of Blondie, is still churning out genre-fusing tunes, rocking a mike and flaunting her to- die-for cheekbones. Although she didn't write the lyrics to "The Tide is High" (a Paragons ditty her band borrowed for its 1980 album, "Autoamerican"), she certainly epitomizes the lyrics; she sure isn't "the kind of girl who gives up just like that." Oh no - oh, oh.

A couple of years ago, as his fellow psychologists debated whether narcissism was increasing, Nathan DeWall heard Rivers Cuomo singing to a familiar 19th-century melody. Cuomo, the lead singer and guitarist for the rock band Weezer, billed the song as "Variations on a Shaker Hymn." // Where 19th-century Shakers had sung " 'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free," Cuomo offered his own lyrics: "I'm the meanest in the place, step up, I'll mess with your face." Instead of the Shaker message of love and humility, Cuomo sang over and over, "I'm the greatest man that ever lived." //
...His study covered song lyrics from 1980 to 2007 and controlled for genre to prevent the re...
When Let's Go Green found its way to my desk last year, I figured the album's set of 10 songs - written and performed by local dads Murray Orrick, Randy Phillippe and Scott Urquhart - was a noble idea, but didn't foresee such compositions as "Solar Shuffle" or "Clean Up the Planet Game" topping the charts at a house filled with "Sesame Street" re -issues and Putumayo anthologies. But darn it, Let's Go Green is quite a catchy collection of squeaky-clean tunes ("Squeaky Clean" actually being one of them). Hummable enviro songs for kids are not exactly new - Marin's Tim Cain has been teaching the children about old trees, bluebirds and tide pools for years - but who can complain about one more song cycle whose mission statement is to "inspire young minds to go green through music, fun and ...

Courtesy photo "Power To The People" is one of a number of new releases compiling the work of John Lennon, who would have turned 70 last Saturday. John Lennon thrives, at least when it comes to the industry surrounding him. The former Beatle was shot dead in 1980, at 40. Saturday would have been his 70th birthday. Apart from the television specials, books, new monuments and Nowhere Boy movie, theres a huge amount of music on offer remastered CDs and newly released songs. Power to the People: the Hits comes as a single- disc introduction or a deluxe edition with a DVD of all its songs. The compilation is similar to Lennon Legend from 1997, with five fewer tracks. Just about all Lennon collections have Give Peace a Chance, Instant Karma! and (if you must) Happy Xmas (War is Over). Rating...
The irresistible "Whatcha see Is Whatcha Get" took off like a rocket in mid-1971, climbing all the way to No. 3 on the national charts. Five major hits followed: "Get Up and Get Down," "In the Rain" (a No. 1 hit), "Toast to the Fool," "Hey You! Get Off My Mountain" and "Fell For You. THE GROUP'S popular albums included "The Dramatic Jackpot," "Drama V," "Do What You Wanna Do," "Joy Ride," "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get," "Shake It Well" and "A Dramatic Experience." Another outstanding '70s hit by the Dramatics was the lovely "Ocean of Thoughts and Dreams" which, interestingly, became the foundation (same music, different lyrics) for Destiny's Child's 2005 hit, "Girl," featured on their final album as a trio, "Destiny Fulfilled." The Dramatics' last Top 10 hit was "Welcome Back Home," a 19...

By the time they were written, [Ian Curtis] was dead he committed suicide in 1980, at the age of 23 - and his fellow band members had recreated themselves as New Order, which would go on to record danceable hits such as "Blue Monday." [Anton Corbijn] takes us back to the beginning, when Curtis (Sam Wiley) was a teenager listening to David Bowie records th his parents' drab apartment near Manchester. With eyeliner on his face and J.G. Ballard novels in his bookcase, he seems like every withdrawn kid who scribbles lyrics about alienation. The difference is in how he comes alive on stage, with a baritone voice that somehow manages to drone with intense emotion, and a dance style that's half robot, half eggbeater. With his hooded eyes and button-down shirts, Curtis looks conservative enough...
Gunned down outside his Manhattan apartment on Dec. 8, 1980, John Lennon - no stranger to headlines - once again made the front pages of newspapers around the world. So did the words on his death certificate: "multiple gunshot wounds of left shoulder and chest ... left lung and left subclavian artery; external and internal hemorrhage. Shock. To his fans, those words would always seem terribly wrong and out of place; too chilly, graceless and clinical for a generation that had grown up on the playful, soulful lyrics of Lennon & McCartney. And they generated an icy numbness at the improbability of it all: Why would anyone want to kill John Lennon? And why would anyone want to kill him now?
