Music

• Chuck Berry, Brown Eyed Handsome Man

  One thing not noted so much about Berry's songs has been the distinctly adult nature of many of them. Rock and roll supposedly was created as music for the kids, but Chuck was singing about harsh marital disagreements ["30 Days"] and the heartache of divorce and custody problems ["Memphis"].

• When Did It Happen?

  A remarkable transformation has occurred in American thought. It's one of those transformations that's imperceptible while it's happening, but seems breathtaking when looked upon in retrospect. I believe historians will almost certainly remark upon the 1990s as the linchpin decade that marked a radical shift in the American mindset.

• Prisoner of Prescription bottles

  This one wasn't full of symbolism and deeper meaning. It reminded me of a black-and-white slapstick sitcom. It made me laugh out loud.
