Though it is true that the days of Led Zeppelin and KISS, hair bands and rock 'n' roll gods are gone, the pop music canon is still full of Rock Stars. Some of this is the artists' doing.
"I wouldn't cite it, but I use it to get background information on something I'm researching."
Call it. Go ahead. It's over. The Boston Celtics, as we knew them, are dead.
The NCAA Tournament is always exciting, but last season, George Mason brought the degree of unpredictability to a new level.
The Democrats are going to take over the House. The Democrats are going to take over the Senate. This is all you see and hear in the media today. And, if the election were held at this moment, I would predict that the Republicans would lose the House.
Upon entering Balch Arena Theater, everything about "The Seagull" seems strange, unfamiliar. The set for the opening act consists mostly of long white sheets of fabric hanging from the ceiling at harsh angles that vaguely suggest trees. Before the show begins, as the audience is seated, two men build a stage on the stage. It's a little unexpected, a little different.
So it's Monday afternoon, and your fantasy football team is nursing a healthy 25-point lead going into Monday Night Football. You had a big day from all your key players - Marc Bulger, Terrell Owens, Rudi Johnson - and you're feeling good. The San Diego defense even threw in a touchdown.

With the U.S. population reaching over 300 million last week, the largest minority group in the country continues to be Latinos. Occasions like the Hispanic Heritage Month and the Boston Latino International Film Festival provide an opportunity for the sizeable Latino community to express their perspectives on the American experience, in this case through the lens of cinema.
With Halloween just around the corner, we here at the Daily have spent at least seven minutes considering our costumes for this year. Where better to look for inspiration than Hollywood? Unfortunately, our efforts to find worthy get-ups have proven futile; considering it's kind of Hollywood's job, you'd think that costumes in Tinseltown would be a little more convincing. That said, we can't help but share our findings with you. Here, in a spooky, hierarchical style, we present to you the Top Ten Worst Costumes Donned by a Celebrity, a Fictional Character, a Fictional Character Posing as a Celebrity, or a Celebrity Posing as a Fictional Character. Or a mix of all four.
