All I had to do was type that out and now you almost certainly have that big, dumb, goofy, joyous chorus stuck
- Rock writers (including yours truly) have spent thousands of words building the myth of Bruce Springsteen's live show. Well, how about Sir Paul McCartney?

- "One, two, three, FOUR!" Never has a foreign invasion of a country's culture been announced in such a way. But so it was when American disc jockeys began playing the B-side of a .45 rpm record by a popular British rock 'n' roll quartet in January 1964.
- But celebrating 50 years of The Beatles shows the band was more than a passing fad; it's a testimony to their enduring appeal.

- There are at least two remarkable things to note in Colin Blunstone's voice.
- The Super Bowl has created a veritable cottage industry of parties surrounding it, and nowhere is this more evident than in the XLVII game in New Orleans, a city that knows how to have fun.

- What plays well in a stadium doesn't always work so well on TV.But if the in-person thumbs-up reviews out of London Friday were accurate, the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics were a winner on both fronts. By and large, the version shown for four and a half hours tape delay on NBC Friday night certainly made for a fine opening to the games.
