"Movin' Out" is a Broadway musical based on the music of piano icon Billy Joel. The show is now on a nationwide tour, and its current stop is Washington. The brainchild of Twyla Tharp and Joel, "Movin' Out" incorporates dance and music in a unique way that has never been done before.
Dear Editor:
A Thorn For Every Heart "Things Aren't So Beautiful Now" (Interscope/Kickball) Sounds like: Thursday is the Story of the Year for this band. C+
All events are free to students unless otherwise stated.
The jam band Galactic descended from the outer stratosphere to a packed 9:30 club Saturday. At $25 per ticket, it was almost assured that each member of the audience had already been inducted into the group's blend of jazz, funk, blues and rock 'n' roll. However, the diverse blend of spices that went into the two-part set performed by the New Orleans natives was occasionally interesting, but for the most part tepid and a little sour.
Ben Roethlisberger won his fifth consecutive start for the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday over a team that had been previously undefeated. Now, I'm not going to toot Ben's horn just because he plays for my hometown team, but I think it's a good idea to put the win in perspective and give him the credit he deserves.
During a season in which electoral politics can be scarier than any atomic creature from the unknown, the most fearsome predator inhabiting D.C. on Monday did not come from the foreboding halls of Capitol Hill, nor the haunted depths of the Beltway.
In the war on terror, Americans discuss everything from atrocities to alliances, but something that doesn't get much coverage is how much the war costs.

With 19 days to Election Day and polls showing a dead heat between President Bush and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), AU's political pundits are weighing in on what factors will decide the winner of this year's presidential election.
Five gong hits by drummer Sachiko Fujiyama signified that the 5.6.7.8's had arrived at the Black Cat Tuesday night. After toiling in relative obscurity for more than 15 years, through breakups and roster changes, the all-girl Japanese trio has seen a sudden rise in popularity during the past year since their appearance in Quentin Tarantino's blood-drenched epic, "Kill Bill Vol. 1."
Anti-war and anti-capitalism activists gathered in D.C. this weekend, kicking off a wave of protests before the presidential election.
As a text, Ernest Thompson's "On Golden Pond" is an exercise in restraint, about the subtleties of interaction between husband and wife and parents and children. As a theatrical production at the Kennedy Center, it is an exercise in using comedy to galvanize that restraint, which lends tenderness to some scenes and triviality to others.
In this allegedly very important election year, there's a lot of so-called entertainment being released with underlying meanings. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" led the pack of anti-Bush films that includes "Outfoxed" and "Silver City," as well as a number of lesser known quasi-documentaries shown in indie theaters and released on DVD for sale on the Internet.
Only eight baseball teams are going to the playoffs, and 24 are not. By simple math, the chances are better that your team is missing rather than making the playoffs. With all the ink sure to be devoted to the World Series contenders in the coming month, I think now is a good time to reflect on what can be learned from the also-rans and almosts of the 2004 baseball season.
"First Daughter" stars Katie Holmes as the president's sheltered daughter Samantha Mackenzie. She is her parents' princess, but has only ever been a politician's daughter. Now, at age 18, Sam wants nothing more than to go off on her own for her college years, but convincing her parents (Michael Keaton and Margaret Colin) to lessen her personal security is another matter entirely.
The Snake The Cross The Crown Mander Salis (Equal Vision Records) Sounds like: grandiose, atmospheric sounds with an apocalyptic British singer (who's actually from Alabama). B+
Panelists at Sunday night's American Forum agreed that this year's election is "grim and lacking humor" common in past elections and the desire for a funnier election is palpable.
"At this point, I would vote for an untrained monkey," a friend of mine recently said, in reference to the upcoming presidential election. That's the way I feel at this point, and I am from Massachusetts.
