Fleetwood Mac ready to "Unleash" powerful music
Fleetwood Mac, which brings its "Unleashed" tour to town for a show Monday night at the Bradley Center, topped the charts with a string of hits in an era before tabloid TV, gossip Web sites and "gotcha" journalism. In terms of creative tension and soap operas, though, the group was ahead of its time. The off-stage and outside-the-studio exploits still color the group's music and create sparks on stage.

Recollections of another inauguration
As America turns its eyes to soon-to-be President Obama's inauguration this morning, I'm instead looking back to my only experience at a presidential inauguration in 1993. I was just a freshman at George Washington University when Bill Clinton took the oath of office, a mere 18 years old that blustery January morning. I remember a handful of specifics about that week, though in retrospect, not as many as I'd like.

Buckingham's new disc fails to get "Under the Skin"
It’s been 14 years since Lindsey Buckingham released his last album, “Out of the Cradle.” Perhaps if he had spent another year working on his new one, the aptly named “Under the Skin,” he might have come up with a more coherent, listenable work.
