Bloomington's Lotus World Music and Arts Festival, an annual five-day event scheduled to begin Wednesday, will be adversely affected by the transportation problems stemming from the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington Tuesday.

But Executive Director Lee Williams said the show would go on.

By Jill Chickedantz · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

For folk rocker Ani DiFranco, music is a way of making sense of the universe. "My little songs are sort of letters to myself," DiFranco told Music Connection. I'm trying to clue myself in on some things. It's all a very self-conscious process on some level. My music, I guess, is what I live through." DiFranco will perform at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the IU Auditorium. Union Board is sponsoring the event.

Bloomington native a classical prodigy

By Christopher Lee · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

It is always exciting to see a talented young musician grow into a major player on the tough classical music scene. Even more of a thrill is to know that you were there in the beginning and helped his or her career move from the practice rooms of a university into the world's most famous concert halls.

Blue cheese: Moldy oldy but goody

By Camilla Saulsbury · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

"Mold" and "delicious" are rarely used in the same sentence. In an age of anti-bacterial obsession, blue cheese is the delightful exception. Hardcore blue cheese afficionados think that Swiss, Cheddar and Jack cheeses are for wimps -- if the cheese cannot be smelled from ten feet away, forget it.

The power of music

By Stacey Palevsky · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A dark-haired man in a worn-in Grateful Dead T-shirt sits on a blanket, bobbing his dreadlocked head up and down to the beat provided by Blue Moon Revue. To his right, an older, slightly balding man stands, gently tapping his foot to the music. To his left, two golden retrievers chase each other around in circles, eventually running after a young barefoot girl, her long brown hair windblown over her smiling face. Below her, the green grass blew in the wind while the blue but cloudy sky illuminates all of Dunn Meadow Saturday for this year's Calmfest.

Spielberg's 'A.I' vision a long way off

By Joseph S. Pete · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IDS has long been dedicated to bringing its readership tough-as-nails, hard-hitting arts and culture coverage. It was in that noble spirit -- certainly not the spirit of idle Internet-surfing spurred on by boredom -- that I visited the promotional Web site of "A.I." "A.I.," a widely lauded futuristic rumination on what it means to be human, rose to the top of the box office in its opening weekend and has since sank like a stone. It is thus, officially, the first Steven Spielberg picture loved by the critics and loathed by moviegoers.
