    It's hard to find an American who doesn't have a strong opinion about health care reform. And many of those opinions are fueled by a medical scare or insurance experience.

  9. Album Review: Bob Dylan's 'Together Through Life'

    In "Together Through Life," the latest missive issued from his woodshed out in Malibu, the bard of America calls up some obvious influences. Bob Dylan has said this album was inspired by midcentury Chess and Sun label recordings, and indeed, the hearty ghosts of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf stomp through most tracks, with Doug Sahm and Edith Piaf stopping in for a dance or two. But John Bunyan? Leave it to Dylan to pull up some really old roots.

  10. The Blues

    After this day, Chicago blues--and by extension the popular music of the last half of the 20th Century--would never be the same. McKinley Morganfield, a.k.a. Muddy Waters, already was famous as the singer and guitarist most responsible for bringing the acoustic Delta Blues of his native Mississippi into the modern electrified era, after arriving in Chicago in 1943. And with artists such as Waters leading the way, Chicago already had become the city most closely identified with the electric blues in the postwar era, a reign that would continue through the 1950s and 1960s with such giants as Howlin' Wolf, Otis Rush, Junior Wells and Magic Sam.

  12. 'Cadillac Records'

    Brilliantly cast and ambitious to beat the band, "Cadillac Records" is a little movie that aims big. It tries to capture nothing less than the moment when white culture embraced black music and rock 'n' roll was born. But even if the iPod Nation craves...
