What would we do without music? Perhaps a few demented folks would jump for joy and loudly shout a victory cheer, but the majority of us would most likely be reduced to tears and inexplicable sorrow or dejection. You would almost have to be branded a misanthrope to not enjoy or appreciate music.
Tim McGraw is one fortunate singin' country boy. He's been on top of the country world for almost a decade and somewhere in between, married Faith Hill and sang "It's Your Love." Then everything else became insignificant. On his seventh album, "Tim McGraw and The Dancehall Doctors," McGraw is still laboring for the success of his 1997 release "Everywhere," which undoubtedly is still his best to date.
I used to like Matchbox Twenty. In fact, America used to love Matchbox Twenty, with its amazingly successful debut album "Yourself Or Someone Like You." Then, singer Rob Thomas went off to conquer the world, sang "Smooth" for Santana and ruined it for everyone.
Steven Soderbergh pulls double duty in the creation of "Solaris." Written and directed by him, "Solaris" adds to Soderbergh's portfolio of outstanding films that are set apart from the norm.
Golf is an intricate game. It's a gentleman's game and carefully crafted for centuries and refined to perfection.
What starts as a thematic adaptation of Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," ends as an updated version of "Dead Poets Society" and "Stand and Deliver" wrapped into one. Whatever its intent, Michael Hoffman's "The Emperor's Club" turns out to be one of those feel-good stories meant to make the viewer reflect upon his or her life.

"He always includes things that adults find funny," director Bill Helder said.
Shania Twain is one hot woman. Her videos make no sense and her music doesn't apply to people who aren't normally in love, but she looks good, so we don't mind watching - and her voice isn't that bad, either. Molding with society's trend, Twain's music abruptly switched from country to pop-country in 1997 with "Come On Over," launching her career further.

If you think "Steal This Album!" is a new album, you're mistaken. It's the left over music that never made it to a record. This 16-track collection of original, completed and unreleased material originates back to before System Of A Down signed with American in 1995 to as recently as the 2001 "Toxicity" sessions. The band claims the songs are as good, if not better than the songs that did make it to the albums - but artists always say that crap.
Thanksgiving gives people a chance to gather with loved ones and be thankful for what is important in their lives - it signals the start of the holiday season, and it's a prime time to overeat without guilt and scarf down loads and loads of turkey. Unless... for some reason, whether it be ethical or having a distaste for the animal, you're a vegetarian or vegan. Vegetarians are those who do not eat any meat, only vegetables, fruits and sometimes eggs or dairy products.
