Are you and best buddy in a 'bromance?'
Bromance? On the streets of New York, the term elicited quizzical looks from the several men I approached.
Melvin, a bike messenger with meticulous cornrows and baggy jeans, assumed I was inquiring about something related to homosexuality.
One aspiring writer nervously stammered through our brief chat and made it a point to profess his love for women repeatedly.
Only one young man, a student at Fordham, knew what a bromance was and seemed comfortable enough to profess that he was indeed a bromantic. Why the weirdness? Dudes and feelings are not supposed to mix.
Madonna under fire
Madonna was in court this morning, trying to adopt another child from Malawi.
A judge ruled that she'll have to wait until Friday to find out if she'll be given the green light.
At least one children's group is saying she shouldn't adopt and that the child would be better off in his or her own country.
We spoke with Dominic Nutt, spokesman for Save the Children, about the controversy surrounding the possible adoption.
What do you think? Should Madonna be able to adopt?
Phish returns: A 'phan' reflects
Phish is back… again!
After a nearly five-year absence, the kings of the jamband scene reunited for a three-night run at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton Virginia last week. The venue occupies a special place in the hearts of many Phish fans because their incredibly popular live album Hampton Comes Alive was recorded there.
Phish opened the show with their classic anthem “Fluffhead,” a lengthy, multi-sectioned tune from their debut 1988 album Junta..
It was the band’s first performance of the song since 2000 and the fans responded with raucous applause.
The crowd’s raw emotion can be clearly heard on a clip posted on youtube by a fan here.
By all accounts, they not only played “Fluffhead,” they nailed it. This also goes for the rest of the Hampton shows. In all they performed 86 songs over three nights. Internet message boards still lit up with comments about songs they didn’t play; I leave it to the reader to name another band that can play nearly 90 songs and still manage to leave something out!
