		<description><![CDATA[In the winter and early spring, the Beach Boys made a record; the Rolling Stones regrouped with a new member; Bob Dylan performed a concert that was later released on vinyl; Ray Charles broke new artistic ground; and the Beatles recorded a demo. That paragraph could have been written about any year between 1962, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired on CBS in 1965.  In the 46 years since, it has rightfully become a cultural icon. The “Peanuts” comic strip, created by Charles Schulz, had been around for a decade before he had the idea to move his characters to television. Though not exactly light and carefree, the “Peanuts” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently finished reading a biography, Billy Joel: the Life and Times of an Angry Young Man by Hank Bordowitz.  The author interviewed many of the movers and shakers in Billy’s world through the years: managers, band members, record label execs, and the book has much new information on its subject.

		<description><![CDATA[The bloodsport of contemporary politics grows more cutthroat by the day.  Anyone seeking a middle-of-the-road voice, one that simply reports the news, will be disappointed that no real &#8220;news&#8221; seems to exist on the dial.  The Edward R. Murrows of the world have vanished, leaving self-styled pundits in their place.  Recently, Rolling Stone magazine featured [...]]]></description>

After a full day of teaching music, followed by an evening as a cashier and bag boy at the grocery store, I came home to a most pleasant surprise.  My favorite pop culture critics from the 1990s, Beavis and Butt-Head, are back on TV with new episodes after a 15-year wait.  It’s as if [...]]]></description>
