With his heart broken and his health failing, Johnny Cash saddled up one last time with Rick Rubin for the final curtain - JULY 4TH THE LAST JOHNNY CASH ALBUM IS DUE - American V: A Hundred Highways

With his heart broken and his health failing, Johnny Cash saddled up one last time with Rick Rubin for the final curtain on both a career and one of the most remarkable collaborations in music history. Cash's swan song is uplifting and incredibly sad as he approaches his mortality with characteristic stoicism and courage. Perhaps the most intimate of an intimate series, "American V" puts Cash in our living room as he offers perspective on faith ("God's Gonna Cut You Down," "I Came to Believe,") death (Bruce Springsteen's "Further On [Up the Road]," "On the Evening Train") and, of course, love (Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My ...

Meantime, how “Love” came about is a story of serendipity and good and bad luck. Apparently George Harrison — who never gets enough credit for his creative brainstorms — approached Guy Laliberte, the company’s founder, with an idea of some kind of collaboration. When Siegfried & Roy was suddenly forced to close down, the Mirage reached out to Laliberte, who brought in the idea of a Beatles show. The project has not transformed this hotel, which had lost its trendiness. The hotel, which once sported an indoor rainforest, now seems energized as Beatlemania seeps into every area. Originally, the plan was to use the existing theater, but then Champagne and his ...

Ultra-Orthodox Jews attack Christian tourists in Jerusalem A group of 50 pro-Israel Christian tourists came under attack Wednesday from some 100 residents of the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea She'arim in Jerusalem. Three of the tourists and a police officer were wounded in the attack. They received treatment at the scene. The tourists arrived at Mea She'arim wearing orange T-shirts with the words "Love your neighbor as yourself" printed across them. As they neared one of the squares, the local residents apparently identified them as Christians and began to hit them. Police forces in the area stepped in to stop the violence, but did not make any arrests. Police say they ...

But Beatles fans are in for a tremendous surprise. PLEASE PLEASE ME A couple of weeks ago Giles Martin stopped in New York on his way to London, and invited me to hear his Love mixes on a five-channel surround system at Magno Studios. I was knocked out by some, but I was absolutely floored by the pristine quality and fine definition of the sound. With the compression of the original 1960 s productions stripped away, voices and instruments seem real, as if they were in the room. The new mixes wrap you in the group’s arrangements and let you hear long-buried interplay that illuminates the Beatles’ brilliance. This is a level of detail that simply hasn’t been heard outside the ...

MOSCOW, June 27 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin here on Tuesday called for the world's security structure to be updated, and reaffirmed relations with other countries. "I am confident that we have reached a turning point, when the updating of the whole structure of global security is necessary," Putin said in his speech to Russian ambassadors who were called back from around the world. Reports said the meeting was taking place to assess Russia's place in the world and to set the country's new foreign policy goals. "If we let the inertness of former approaches carry us away, the world will be once again doomed to ineffective confrontation," Putin said. He ...

Earlier, Defense Minister Amir Peretz said that "the clock is running out, and Israel is poised and ready for a military operation in the Gaza Strip."

'Tell me why Muslims hate you' Al-Zawahiri also compares the loss of the al Qaeda in Iraq leader to losses Americans have experienced in the war in Iraq. "Tell me how your drunkard and runaway soldiers get killed; tell me how many of you were killed in reality and how much did your economy really lose and how the morale of your soldiers is down. And not only that, but tell me why Muslims hate you so much, and also why you are hated so much by your innocent victims all over the world," he says. "Bush is lying to you when he tells you that you will win when you kill Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar and the members of al Qaeda and Taliban. He is hiding a lot behind his lies. He ...

Senate Rejects Calls on Iraq Troop Pullout

The GOP-controlled Senate on Thursday rejected Democratic calls to start withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq by year's end, as the two parties sought to define their election-year positions on a war that has grown increasingly unpopular. "Withdrawal is not an option. Surrender is not a solution," declared Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, who characterized Democrats as defeatists wanting to abandon Iraq before the mission is complete. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada, in turn, portrayed Republican leaders as blindly following President Bush's "failed" stay-the-course strategy. "It is long past time to change course in Iraq and start to end ...

Both the Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church voted on Tuesday in favor of a role for gays and lesbians in their faith communities. At its triennial general convention in Columbus, Ohio, the Episcopal House of Deputies decided not to follow the wish of worldwide Anglican leaders and enact a moratorium on electing openly gay bishops, while the Presbyterian national assembly voted in Birmingham, Alabama, to allow individual congregations and regional presbyteries to make their own decisions regarding gay bishops and others, the Associated Press reports. "The vote says we're not willing to make sacrificial lambs of our gay and lesbian sisters and brothers and that has to leave me ...

Shuttle launch to go ahead despite risk of 'catastrophic' faults Nasa is to press ahead with next month's space shuttle launch against the advice of the agency's chief safety officer and top engineer, who have warned that the same problems that doomed Columbia in 2003 could lead to another catastrophe. The decision followed two days of "spirited discussion" among senior managers at Kennedy Space Centre about the risk of foam insulation falling from Discovery's fuel tank and striking the shuttle during its planned lift-off on July 1. Michael Griffin, the Nasa administrator, overruled colleagues who wanted the mission postponed for safety improvements, arguing that there was no ...

‘Coalition of the willing’ shrinks in Iraq The shrinking US “coalition of the willing” in Iraq has come to resemble more a coalition of the reluctant, as allies weigh up the costs of continued involvement in an unpopular war against the benefits of backing President George W. Bush for the rest of his second term. Japan is expected to become the latest coalition member to announce a schedule for its withdrawal in a public statement on Tuesday. Italy’s new foreign minister, Massimo D’Alema, met Condoleezza Rice, US secretary of state, last week to discuss the Italian pullout by the end of the year, meaning in effect an end to operations by September.

The North's 23 million people are tightly controlled and have limited access to the media. Some foreign media predicted North Korea may fire the ...

It was the North’s second ...

"The reaction was as if Natalie had said 'Death to the President' or something," says violinist and vocalist Maguire. "It was the bullying and the scare factor," shudders banjo and guitar player Robison. "It was like the McCarthy days, and it was almost like the country was unrecognisable." The level of debate can be gauged from the way Maines was compared to "Hanoi Jane" Fonda, who was photographed manning a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun at the height of the Vietnam war. The Chicks can't hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. "A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what ...

No sooner did the corporate media parade gruesome photos of the freshly killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, or the person we are expected to believe was al-Zarqawi, then it set about arranging his successor, as evil Muslim boogiemen must remain front and center in the forever war against manufactured terrorism. “An Egyptian associate of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claims to have succeeded him as the new leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, even though an Islamic Web site said Monday that another man was in power,” reports the Bush Ministry of Scary Campfire Stories, Fox News division. “Brig. Gen. Carter Ham said at a Pentagon news conference on Wednesday that Abu al-Masri, whose name surfaced ...
