• CD Review: AC/DC, “Backtracks”

  
  Popdose — Authority: 614
  It’s rather pointless to review an AC/DC box set—you either love the band and have the thing already ordered or on your Christmas list, or you’re not going to bother. Since I am nothing if not a sucker for lost causes, I therefore direct this review to the uninitiated—those who might not “get” how a hard ...

• The Race Against Nothing

  
  American Thinker — Authority: 787
  We have busied ourselves in a race between technology and nothing.  Huge amounts of money and effort are being spent to develop an approach to address the hoax that is man-induced global warming, arguably the definition of nothing.  While much of the world struggles with even the basics for life, sufficient food, ...

• Death by Power Ballad: Bonnie Tyler, “Lovers Again”

  
  Popdose — Authority: 614
  Back in her late-70s, “It’s a Heartache” period, gravelly voiced Bonnie Tyler was viewed chiefly as Rod Stewart with a vagina (a designation many have claimed simply describes Stewart himself). When that dubious crown was rather quickly lifted from her head and placed just above the Bette Davis eyes of Kim ...

• You Again?: Michael Bolton, “One World, One Love”

  
  Popdose — Authority: 614
  Some albums defy the usual judgments of good or bad—they’re just wrong . I’m thinking of Liz Phair’s major label records (with the exception of the chorus of “Extraordinary” ); or Sonny Bono’s post-divorce nervous breakdown Inner Views ; M.C. Hammer’s gangsta record ; Kiss’ The Elder ; Aretha ...
