Never quite mainstream, his music has had sporadic chart success while his tal ent as a singer/songwriter has gotten stronger. Foster started in Texas music when it was a fairly unknown genre. He then ventured to coun try, made a short trip into pop and eventually U- turned back into Texas music. Now, with his first album in four years, Foster has indeed found Another Way to Go. Already the album has given him a number one (“Everyday Angel”) on the Texas Music Charts and has gotten heavy airplay on country music radio. The country style of the music can't be denied, but it is not your typical country music album. Foster's trip into pop and his roadhouse roots mingle to form an enjoyable and unique album. Foster wrote or co-wrote every song, and “Scary Old World” features country singer Chely Wright. With the range of style and topics covered on this album, anyone can find at least one song with which they’ll be able to relate. It may not be one you would normally pick up. but this album is not a waste of time or money.

The fact that this album has won them cm, i and commercial success is no reassurance forM Hives. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, W man Almqvist said, “The state of music -J always been crap.

Veni Vidi Vicious is miles apart from the usual pop culture-era punk albums. Its sound is reminiscent of retro punk rock groups such as The Clash, and its style is snooty-European. The 12-track collec tion is chock full of cunningly-smart lyrics, soar ing guitars and screechy vocals from frontman Howlin Pelle Almqvist, who sounds (and some times even looks) like a direct descendant of the Mick dagger clan. The 12 tracks are fast-paced garage rock songs that center around politics, self-depreciation and vengeance. “Die Alright” is one of the more noticeable tracks on the CD, with anti-corporate lyrics like “sold my body to the company so/ 1 got the money now away I go/ and 1 say/ thank you Mr. CEO.” It’s funny, though, how the band recently signed a multi-million dollar record deal with, you guessed it, a big corporation. “Find Another Girl” is a song that should be relished by the listeners, because it is the only When you pick up an Anastacia albummi look at the cover, you have no idea what youe getting yourself into.

Fifty-seven percent of respon dents said they would find it acceptable for Charles to live with Parker Bowles, without marrying her, when he is king, while 32 percent said it would be unacceptable. Forty-two percent thought the pair should marry, while 36 per cent were opposed and 32 per cent did not express an opinion. Some Britons oppose the rela tionship because the prince's popular ex-wife Princess Diana blamed Parker Bowles for the breakup of her marriage. But polls show increasing pub lic acceptance of the relationship between Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, and the divorced Parker Bowles. Charles has said he has no PEOPLE IN THE NEWS plans to remarry. The poll, conducted by NOP Research Group, involved 996 people aged 15 and over in September. The margin of error was plus or minus three percent age points. Actor Woody Allen unsure of his skills ROME (AP) — He's won three Oscars and is considered by many to be one of the best movie directors of our time. Woody Allen says if he had three words to define himself, "I would say I am a failed artist." "I am not even an actor," the 66-year-old Allen was quoted as saying by La Repubblica daily and other Italian newspapers over the weekend. "Dustin Hoffman is an actor. Jack Nicholson is an actor, I'm not." Allen has appeared in many of his own films, including Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Hollywood Ending. "If I weren't famous, nobody would come to my concerts," he told the Rome daily ll Messaggero. "I'm less than ALLEN mediocre with the clarinet. Allen was in Rometopron-.
