The stories are legendary. There is the show played by the band after learning of the death of [Exene Cervenka]'s sister, Mirielle, in a car accident on the way to the concert. There is the punk rock love story of Doe and Cervenka, in love and then married and then growing apart and finding others. It was all there: As lyricists, Doe and Cervenka wore their hearts on their records, and their listeners shared in their lives. They were placed on a pedestal by the well-placed: Robert Hillburn of the LA Times couldn't stop raving about them, and Ray Manzarek of The Doors loved them so much that he produced their seminal album, Los Angeles (and insisted on playing keyboards on it, much to the distress of many). The Original Sinners' self-titled debut album came out in 2002 and provided a muc...

It's an interesting situation [in Lawrenceville]," says Michael Baltzer, singer, guitarist, and songwriter for . "It's a good place to live, but you walk down the street and there're the sweatpants prostitutes. That's what 'Heart of Lawrenceville' is about - those hookers, and their horror at the hipsters moving into their neighborhood. "The Vanishing" might be Orange Juice's jangly purity backed by XTC's "Science Friction" retro-futurist pop, while songs like "45 Steps" and "bell hooks" fall within the Rezillos and X-Ray Spex school of twinned male-female vocals and poppy mod-punk. ([Laura Hughes]' third-wave-feminist lyrics in the latter rank amongst the best of Pittsburgh's rock scene: "Would you still call me baby / if I read bell hooks in bed ...") But it'...

Can't forget country Editor's note: Since we didn't have any country music fans on hand, we asked WJOD Program Director Ken Peiffer to pick his favorite country songs of the decade. 1. "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning," Alan Jackson (2001). This song came out about a month after the terrorist attacks. It said what everyone was thinking and feeling at the time. I believe it truly helped the country heal. 2. "Don't Blink," Kenny Chesney (2007) A very well written song talking about the different stages of a person's life and just how quickly time goes by. The older you are, the more you can relate personally to the lyrics. 3. "Our Song," Taylor Swift (2007) Who knew how big this teenage sensation was going to be? When this song was released, everyone from age 5 to 55 coul...

The original The Facts of Life sitcom, of course, was a mind-numbingly vacuous NBCTV spinoff of Diff'rent Strokes that astonishingly drew huge ratings and won many awards during its 209-episode run from 1979 to 1988. This was rhe one about the girls' school somewhere north of New York City, where housemother Edna Garrett kept calling her charges togettierby shouting, "Girls! Girls!" Its tagline, repeated here, was, "You take the good; you take the bad; you take them both and there you have ... The Facts of Life'' [Jamie Morris]' in-your-face humor derives a bit from John Waters but with more relentless dialogue. At times he can be obsessive; with nonstop puns on words like "sausage," "muscle," "clam," "cram," "bone" and "eat," you get the picture. Once he's warmed up the tempo, Morris' ...

If Public Enemy was a seminal political influence in your life, you're around 30. And if you have memorized the lyrics to UTFO's Roxanne, Roxanne, you're pushing 40. Young heads will howl, but the unassailable truth is that hip hop's Golden Era lasted from about 1988 to 1996. Mothers realize they can't let their daughters listen to male rappers who denigrate women, and female rappers who put more value on the clothes they're wearing than on themselves. Dads don't want to hear their sons reciting rap lyrics about the glories of dope dealing. Not to mention, a lot of mainstream rap music is just insulting to mature listeners' intelligence. The good news is that there's still thought-provoking, incisive, funny hip hop, made by adults and targeting grown-up listeners. It's wildly diverse, o...
The good news is that when a cast features performers as strong as Grant Bojarski, Chris Sullivan, Gayle Pazerski and Jill Jeffrey, we get a clearer picture of what work needs to be done. Which, oddly, may be the bad news, too. For as funny and fresh as Homeless is, [Christopher Dimond]'s book and lyrics can be woefully juvenile at times, and [Suzanne Polak]'s score needs much more variation and melodic development. Still, that's not necessarily awful news: Musicals are notorious for how much reworking they require. (It was when he was on the road with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum that writer Larry Gelbart famously said: "If Hitler's alive, I hope he's out of town with a musical.")
