While it worked wonders for Sonny and Cher, the marriage seems to be an untapped mechanism in popular music, which may be a good thing in all likelihood. Considering most pop songs deal with the topics of heartbreak and lust, an album full of ""What's for dinner, honey?"" just isn't nearly as marketable.
Four middle-aged, wannabe bikers, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy and John Travolta, embark on a cross-country journey with no particular plan. In fact, the tagline for the film is ""a lot can happen on the road to nowhere."" It should actually be ""road to nowhere.""

Unfortunately, the duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-BenoArt Dunckel seem to have traded in electronic-textured pop music for meandering minimalist instrumentals and Jarvis Cocker guest appearances. The latter crime against music (unless you like Jarvis Cocker, in which case, ignore this comment), on the song ""One Hell of a Party,"" plods on interminably for four minutes with Cocker droning on about the ""burned-out husk of the morning"" after ""one hell of a party."" I found it insufferable; maybe you'd like it.
A ""noticeable spike"" in downtown crime in the first half of 2006 led city officials to push for a separate fund for downtown safety programs. In February, the City Council passed the Downtown Safety Initiative—$100,000 set aside for the Madison Police Department's central district.
