Beatles’ lyrics define a revolution
By Jeff Landow | Apr. 23, 20072007 is the 40th anniversary of the classic Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band. The BBC is working on an anniversary cover album, the entire Beatles back catalog is about to become accessible on iTunes due to a copyright conflict finally getting resolved, and people in general are reflecting back on what it was that made the Beatles such a phenomenon in the first place. I would like to add my two cents and suggest that part of the reason the Beatles were not only immensely successful, but also profound and timeless ,is because of their lyrics. Many a life lesson can be gleaned from the Beatles' oeuvre—in fact, someone could probably write a self-help book using only Beatles-specific moral nuggets. While I don't have time (or the space in The Daily Cardinal) to write an entire book, I think a recap of the text might look something like this:

However, local musician Ari Herstand has achieved both of these things and is growing in popularity in Madison and Minneapolis, where he plays most of his shows. Herstand recently released his sophomore solo album, One Take, which showcases his unique ""folk hop"" genre that sounds unlike anything you've ever heard.
Thriller leaves a feeling of ‘vacancy’
By Stacie Wedvick | Apr. 22, 2007""Vacancy,"" starring Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson, is a slightly less timeless version of the classic horror-thriller ""Psycho."" From the secluded setting of the motel to the unsettling personality of its manager, the film pays homage to its predecessor. Not, however, a mere remake of the original, a modern plot twist mixed with tried-and-true scare tactics makes it a nail-biter until the credits start rolling.
