The music of Irish rock legends U2 will combine with a worship service to form " U2charist" at 6 p.m. today at Church of the Holy Communion. This musically charged service will spread U2's message about God's call for global reconciliation, justice for the poor and oppressed, and the importance of caring for your neighbor.
It excites me to offer this Eucharist using the spiritually sensitive music of U2," says Holy Communion rector Mark Rutenbar. " I believe the Spirit is at work through these creative artists touching many lives already and in the Eucharist we give thanks for their musical offerings that inspire many to reach out and serve their fellow human beings as children of God.

Country star Taylor Swift delivered a spectacular multimedia show at Charleston's Civic Center Saturday night that leaned heavily on spectacle from all directions.
To say it was loud would not do the show justice. At times, the amps for the band seemed to be "turned up to 11," to quote the movie "Spinal Tap," and overpowered the star's vocals.

Kenyatta Hill, Albert Walker, and Telford Nelson -- who make up the legendary harmony-rich reggae trio Culture -- last played in Santa Fe with the Forces of Justice Band in July 2008. The ensemble returns to perform on Tuesday, Aug. 25, capping off another great summer of live reggae at the Santa Fe Brewing Company (37 Fire Place, 424-3333). In this concert, Hill pays tribute to his father, Culture co-founder, Joseph Hill, who died in 2006. Reggae/soul singer Beres Hammond also performs, and doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets, $30, are available at SFBC, the Lensic Performing Arts Center (211 W. San Francisco St., 988-1234), and online at ticketssantafe.org.

Walt Disney, the notoriously litigious studio that successfully changed the nation's copyright laws to protect its trademark Mickey Mouse but more recently declared, "We understand now that piracy is a business model," grosses over $400 million with the third edition of a movie celebrating the lifestyles of the weird and buccaneerish. Garcia's greedhead aside, the Thirteen-who include, as usual, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, casey Affleck, Shaobo Qin, and as the senior shuck artist, Carl Reiner-are closer at heart to the Justice League of America than to Sinatra's larcenous band of brothers (even if, to paraphrase Variety on Ocean 's Twelve, it's a case of the rich stealing from the richer to give to the richest).

The American government is spiraling toward all-out tyranny, bent on enslaving the public, betraying the ideals of the Founding Fathers and spreading the tentacles of "fascist socialism" into policy and public life.
The hourglass is running out," conservative activist David Justice warned from the band shell at Acacia Park, after raising his voice to ear-splitting volumes and bellowing "Freedom!" in the manner of actor Mel Gibson from the movie "Braveheart.

Sons born to powerful, famous fathers often struggle to escape their paternal shadows. When your dad is a legendary rock musician, it would be a natural impulse to reject his legacy in favor of, say, opera or rap music -- or shun music entirely.
Dweezil Zappa, however, went in the opposite direction. He has formed what may be the ultimate tribute to his father, Frank Zappa, who died in 1993 -- a touring band that attempts to do justice to the man's shockingly original, notoriously difficult music. They'll be performing this Friday night at the Palace Theater in Greensburg.

On the downside, hip-hop isn't well represented. The city may have a new hip-hop-friendly radio station in 106.7 Jamz, but so far that good news hasn't translated into any local live dates for commercial R&B or hip-hop artists. And that's a shame. Here's hoping an appearance by silver-tongued Chicago underground MC Qwel (who visits the Memorial Union Rathskeller on March 9) isn't the only show hip-hop fans have to look forward to for the next couple months.
One of the most recognizable names in U.K. reggae, Birmingham's Steel Pulse found wider fame in the mid-'70s playing Rock Against Racism shows with punk acts. Since then, they've ping-ponged from conscious roots reggae to highly produced commercial sounds and back again. Three core members still front the band, and you can bet th...

COLUMBUS -- Dayton attorney Gary Leppla tooted his own horn as a member of The Ohio State University Marching Band.
If Leppla, 56, takes the plunge next year and runs for chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, he might want to pick up his E- flat alto horn and hit the road.
