By Anono-Critic This spring’s Detours included some truly lousy cuts, and Ms. Crow seldom avoids clichéd lyric writing. But “Shine Over Babylon,” like 2002’s “C’mon C’Mon” and 1994’s “Strong Enough,” is a cavernous epiphany, complete with a rapturous, soaring aria for a chorus and coat-of-paint-tigh...

By Maura Johnston 8:28 p.m. Joe just walked in and asked, "Sheryl Crow?" 9:18 p.m. I have no idea who any of these people are. 9:30 p.m. When even Celine Dion is sounding inert, you know that there are problems. 9:42 p.m. Me: "Aww, remember Michael Jackson?" Kate: "Who's that?" 10:32 p.m. Fuck Kid Rock. (Hi Bob, e-mail me!)

By Brian Raftery Rolling Stone has some details on Al Gore's "Live Earth" concert, which will take place on the strangely biblical date of 7/07/07: The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Foo Fighters, Snoop Dogg, John Mayer, Akon, A.F.I., Fall Out Boy, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill are among the participating artists b...
