Congreve, The Mourning Bride 
When I heard the very sad news earlier this week that a friend and colleague Robert Hilferty had died, I was stunned. He was younger than me by two years. A former ACT-UP activist, music critic and filmmaker, he was a firebrand of ideas, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I traded in my old Volkswagen Golf from 1998 (after nearly 200,000 miles of high performance) for a 2008 VW Rabbit. So far so good. But what I love most about it is the fact that it comes with a 6-CD changer. My last car didn&#8217;t even have a cassette tape player! So I [...]]]></description>

First of all, country music often offers [...]]]></description>
