Steve Earle Talks Music, Politics and Addictionnew
Earle's resurrection after being released from jail in the mid-1990s is remarkable, and few would dispute that he is today one of the best songwriters in the world. And he always seasons his songs with powerful political messages that rise above the polemical.

The Real Solutions to Our Energy Crisis are Off the Tablenew

20 Greatest Non-Hits by the Rolling Stonesnew
Everyone knows that the Rolling Stones are a bunch of greedy amoral bastards. (Pick your anecdote from rock lore to illustrate this fact.) The geezers keep flogging their fame into the 21st century, long past sell-by date of their flesh and musical inspiration. Do they need to tour and release more memoirs to make more millions?

Sweet Harmonies (and Chicken Jokes) Come to Madisonnew

They Might Be Giants Talk About Playing Shows for Kidsnew
"They're a really tough crowd to play for," says John Linnell. "It's not unusual for them to talk through a song. Or even talk while we're talking. They don't care about the social conventions that usually account for good manners at a show. And if we play a song they don't like, they will definitely let us know."
