Catholic finger-pointing unfair

·

For the past year, the Catholic Church has been in uproar concerning their priests and allegations of sexual abuse with minors. It is a sensitive topic which has rightly received major attention from the press and the concerned public. But how accurate are the figures portrayed in the media? Or more importantly, are such figures really mind-blowingly out of proportion to normal figures of child molestation which occur in all corners of our society?

Say What?

·

The IU football team gets a long-anticipated bye weekend this week. Last year, this break was a gift to the Hoosiers, who traveled to Madison, Wis. last year, and shocked, well, the world, by running all over the Badgers the following weekend. Next week, IU faces Wisconsin once again.

Elvis may be dead, but his music isn't

·

What ever happened to rock and roll? I am talking about good, old-fashioned rock and roll, not any of the rehashed, cliché crap that record companies are churning out without listening to first. One could arguably say that rock and roll died in 1977 with Elvis. His new album, ELV1S , showcases many aspects of his artistry.

A really fantastic tour rolled into Chicago last Friday, and thanks to a wonderful little class called Z302, and this more wonderful little thing called "Iliad," I couldn't go. But, I'm digressing.

Killing your idols

·

There was a time when I thought about Bob Dylan every day, all the time. It was like he was my father or my best friend, or my right hand. I used to walk around saying things like, "And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's a-crashin', and the windows are rattlin' and breakin', and the roof tops a-shakin', and yer whole world's a-slammin' and bangin', and yer minutes of sun turn to hours of storm," with a straight face.
