Two phrases I can not stand because they are so misused: per se , which means intrinsically, but is so often used to mean "that is to say" and; it begs the question when what people mean is "it raises the question". Begging the question occurs when one uses an unproven statement ...

Thanks for the extras list, Dexter. I was wondering if Elvis would give a nod to Johnny Cash and you answered that for me. Now what I want to know is, am I the only one who wondered if the director had any idea what he was doing? I was getting peeved at the quick cut "rock video" style tha...

Otis, normally I'd agree that making software for both platforms does increase development costs, but in this case a file is a file. I have Windows Media Player on my Mac and I have internet access, so I don't see why Universal couldn't make the download Mac compatible. This happened with the Sunday...

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm drawing a blank on when EC recorded with Johnny Cash. When did this happen? From EC's liner notes to the Rykodisc reissue of "Almost Blue": "In a roundabout way my link with country music was strengthened by Nick Lowe's marriage to Carlene Carter, daughte...
