Home of cricket hosts tennis match
Marcos Baghdatis, Ana Ivanovic, Alicia Molik and Brydan Klein played a game on the precariously perched court, but were too dazzled by the view to bother keeping score. All four needed a detailed safety briefing before scaling dozens of stairs inside the scoreboard. Molik stepped on to court with a bit more trepidation than usual. Share this article What is this? .
Black Tide proves you're never too young to rock
Black Tide's fans swarmed Internet message boards demanding that the judgment be reversed. And then a miracle occurred: Ozzfest's organizers asked the band to open the main stage, and it rocked the crowd accordingly. Such have been the formative years for Florida's Black Tide, a quartet that merges classic rock with a modern style. Debut album "Light From Above" (Interscope, March 18) reflects the influence of such genre heavyweights as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, whose catalog is older than Black Tide's members. In fact, guitarist/lead singer Gabriel Garcia just turned 15. Black Tide's youth hasn't hindered its progress, which has been swift. The band formed just a few years ago and picked up a demo deal with Atlantic before signing with Interscope in 2006. Its triumph at Ozzfest indicated a victory on another level.
Did the GOP Alienate Hispanics?
I talk Hollywood right-wingers with the expressive and strangely compelling Rob Long. ... 1:24 P.M.. ___________________________ Thursday, December 6, 2007 Hillary's supposed to be the experienced one who can handle foreign policy crises. Yet in the current campaign it's Hillary who seems panicked and Obama who projects calm. Just saying. ... Maybe this is how "running for president [became] a qualification for being President." ...11:52 P.M. ___________________________ Sell your studio stock: The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has hired Chris Lehane, according to Hollywood-writers-strike-must-read Nikki Finke. The producers' group apparently wants "to take a more aggressive approach in its public relations" (LAT's words).
Response to "Endorsing Ron Paul"
I must admit that I am extremely dismayed at the constant fawning over Ron Paul here on a progressive political discussion site. I have always thought that progressives have great difficulty in prioritizing their efforts, and the fact that we are talking about who is the best Republican candidate seems to prove that point. If half this much effort had been put in here in discussing and supporting Dennis "Could Finish" Kucinich, or trying to draft Al Gore in the New Hampshire primaries, we might actually be making some headway as progressives. Instead, we are floundering in endless and fruitless discussions about whether a libertarian corporatist Republican would put business interests above the interests of citizens. Of course he would, that is the definition of a libertarian Republican. Get the government out of the way so that corporations can do their thing.
