Once again, popular music follows contemporary culture. Beyonce's pop hit "Single Ladies" looks at today's cohabitation scene. With nearly 50 percent of young adults aged 20 to 40 cohabiting, living together has become a far-too-typical experience marking a young woman's coming of age. Beyonce's lyrics treat the reality of cohabitation with typical sass: "Cuz I cried my tears, gave three good years." Actually, the typical cohabiting relationship lasts just 18 months, and usually it is the guy rather than the girl who determines when it ends and whether it will lead to marriage. Perhaps Beyonce's hit song gives a small glimmer of hope that, in addition to reflecting a new consciousness in the popular culture, she will magnify the influence on the culture of this budding new realism - the...

Pomplamoose -- It's extremely likely that you know these guys, though it's extremely unlikely that you recognize the name. You know those obnoxious Hyundai commercials they show every 10 seconds with the young musical duet singing Christmas songs? Well, that's Pomplamoose. One of the super-cool things about Pomplamoose -- which consists of Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte -- is they are a poster child for net neutrality. They don't have a record contract. They aren't starting their own label. What they have is talent and a sense of humor -- enough to garner them millions of views on Youtube.com and downloads on iTunes, which translated into a Hyundai commerical. The music is great, too. Conte seems to be able to play, to some extent, any instrument he attempts, while Dawn's voice is sexy and ...

Blige]," "No More Drama," "Love & Life," "The Breakthrough," "Growing Pains" and the current "Stronger With Each Tear." Beyoncé's solo albums, "Dangerously Love," "B'Day" and "I Am...Sasha Fierce" were massive hits, yielding the popular singles "Crazy in Love," "Irreplaceable," "Déjà vu" and, of course, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on ...
The segment has richly rewarded many retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers. Indeed the African American consumer has built entire television networks, established new fashion trends and revolutionized the use of consumer electronic and communication tools from pagers to cell phones. We've "passed the Courvoisier," "put a ring on it" and had "everybody in the club getting' tipsy." We've made the words "bling-bling" part of the popular culture, created a market for overpriced football jerseys ("throwbacks") and made more ways to wear jeans than Levi could have ever imagined. But what have we received in return? I guess we'd better "blame it on the alcohol. This is why the actions of companies like General Motors are so disturbing today.

Michael Jackson is not only not suffering from a life-threat- ening lung ailment, he's so healthy he's planning a world tour. In response to comments made by celebrity conspiracy theorist Ian Halperin, the pop icon's rep issued a statement last week saying that "wild alle- gations concerning Mr. Jack- son's health are a total fabrica- tion. Concerning this author's allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unau- thorized 'biography,'" Jackson's spokesman, Dr. Tohme, said of Halperin's in-the-works bio. "Mr. Jackson is in fine health and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment compa- ny and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances," Tohme c...
