• Type 2 Diabetes

  Type 2 Diabetes is exacerbated, if not directly caused, by being overweight - and two-thirds of Americans are overweight, including me! That concerns me, and I plan to do something about. How about you?

• Death of the guitar solo? Pat Benatar: Go

  Is Pat Benatar's new CD Go a great example of why today most of the famous 80's rock acts have been relegated to playing casinos, lounge gigs and obscure county fairs instead of huge auditoriums?

• Bobby Hatfield Sings Forever

  Upon reading that Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers had died (he was born the same year as I), I went immediately to my musical archives and put on Unchained Melody and let it just repeat. Like any classic, that performance never ages, just gets better as you grow enough to sense the nuances that were there all along.

• Jane Campion's In The Cut, From Dark to Darker...

  Campion's never been one to shy away from big issues, so tackling desire 'realistically' has meant a take on desire, lust and maybe even love which is unrecognisable to an audience raised on Hollywood clichés.

• Quicksilver

  The plot is too complicated to describe, and anyway serves mostly as an excuse for Stephenson to show off both his extensive research and his flair for writing slightly overheated prose.
