There are few musical instruments that are more beautiful than a well played acoustic guitar, which brings us to this week’s Music Pick. Rodrigo y Gabriela are a duo of acoustic guitar players from south of the border. The two Mexico City natives play fast and hard – their CD includes [...]

Jericho fans are trying to send CBS a message – NUTS!
For those of you not familiar with the show, Jake’s grandfather told him a WWII war story where the Allied General in a hopeless situation was offered surrender by the Germans. Rather than surrender, the General sent back a one word reply – NUTS. [...]
