Now that the economy is in the crapper and the jobless rate is skyrocketing, immigration isn’t a hot-button issue anymore. Even Sheriff Joe’s busy earning extra bucks with his new Fox reality show Smile . . . You’re Under Arrest! instead of rounding up illegals. But photographer Jill Enfield, whose…

Cardinal rule No. 1: Distractions rule. Why? Because they make life soooo much easier. If the girlfriend is on your ass about the communication problem in the relationship, what do you do? No, you don’t talk to her, you head to the bar and drink. Distractions rule with exercise, too,…
Allow us to wax philosophical for a moment as we contemplate the meaning of human existence. Is it to find love? To seek enlightenment? Don’t be naive. If late-night TV commercials and the constant stream of video uploads on YouTube are any indication, the root of the human experience is…
From black lights, bong water, and wizards to natural breasts and hairy beavers, no band captured everything that was great about the 1970s like Led Zeppelin. Sadly, those days are over, and the chances of the band reuniting look about as good as John Bonham’s bloated corpse. Luckily, the Phoenix…

There’s been a rip-roaring debate raging through the religious world for years over the role of Christian rock. Although some hard-liners feel it’s the devil’s music and has no place in the Lord’s house of worship, more moderate (and less fundamentalist) types feel it’s just another avenue for paying tribute…
Good news for the Phoenix Suns: Tonight’s opponents are the Minnesota Timberwolves, mainstays of the NBA’s bottom-feeding contingent. Bad news: Like many NBA dogs, the T-Wolves historically give the Suns fits, though the Big Cactus and crew did pull off a 110-102 win in Minneapolis back on November 26. Really…
The 1920s seem glamorous to 14-year-old girls lacking in American history. Case in point, young gals (including us, back in the day) who whore it up for Halloween, complete with garter belts and flapper gear. Now we’re thinking that if we were stuck in that decade, we’d be more like…
The event features a keynote address by Reyes, the presumably “unteachable” former juvenile gang member who was featured in the best-selling book The Freedom Writers Diary and whose ultimate success story inspired the Hilary Swank movie Freedom Writers. Mon., Jan. 19, 8-10 p.m., 2009…
We probably should’ve seen it coming. After The White Stripes hit the big time earlier this decade, a host of other two-piece acts followed in their footsteps, from the bluesy rock of the Black Keys to the bass-driven dance-punk of Death from Above 1979 to the sludgy doom metal of…

The annual tourney showcases college-bound seniors with 10 games spread between ASU’s Wells Fargo and the University of Arizona’s McKale Center. This year’s games at ASU are Chandler Seton Catholic vs. Kayenta Monument Valley (girls, 1:45),…
Like a kid on Christmas Eve I could hardly sleep. Filled with anticipation for this day I set an alarm just in case, but I didn’t need it. I was up by 8, showered, made myself a nice breakfast and was out the door. When I arrived at my destination…

Craig Ferguson Could Read Me the Phonebook As Americans, there are a lot of things we don’t agree on. But if there’s one thing I think we can all get behind, it’s this: British/Irish/Scottish accents make everything better. You could call my mother a dirty slut in your boring old…

Arizona Theatre Company has announced an additional week of performances for their current production of Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, and that’s good news for Valley audiences, because this show is bumpin’.

I have a nasty habit of booking up my schedule weeks in advance and, since I’m not the only person in this town with a busy life, I assume some of you are the same way. All of a sudden, boredom is never an option and neither are last minute…
