THE BAIIJ
Elton John’s latest release is a comprehensive, career-spanning
compilation of some of the greatest songs ever written. The two discs
recount, in chronological order, John’s beautiful, timeless love ballads.
Although his lavish style and flamboyant stage presence have
often overshadowed his talent. Greatest Hits reminds listeners of
his incredible songwriting ability that has endured more than three
decades. His legendary collaborations with lyricist Bemie Taupin
have resulted in rock classics such as “Tiny Dancer,” “Candle in
the Wind” and “Daniel.”
The compilation also shows John's lighter side with songs
like “Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart” and “Saturday Night’s
Alright for Fighting.”
Greatest Hits includes selections from John’s studio albums and
songs from his soundtrack contributions to The Lion King and
from his Broadway musical Aida. Greatest Hits also includes two
incredible songs “I Want Love” and “This Train Don’t Stop There
Anymore” from West Coast, which was released in 2001.
A special bonus disc contains live versions of “Candle in the
Wind,” “Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” “Live Like Horses”
and “Your Song.”
John has said Greatest Hits might be his swansong, but his
music has supplied the soundtrack for a generation.

Pearl Jam has stayed the course, writing songs in their own
style and making music the way only they know how. Riot Act
is no different. However, the disc has some of the band’s more
straight-forward music. Lyrically and instrumentally. Pearl Jam
lays down their riffs and phrases without the subtlety that has
mired previous records.
“Bushleaguer” lets listeners know Vedder’s thoughts on the
“Leader of the Free World”—he’s less than supportive-and “Love
Boat Captain” tells how the band “lost nine friends today.”
about fans that died at one of their concerts in Europe.
Mike McCready isn’t too shy about his obsession with the
guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn either. Some of Riot Act’s solos
seem to be played by the late, great axslinger himself.
The songs, in due Pearl Jam fashion, have retained their
quirkiness though. The influences of different styles-punk, the
blues, and folk—all ring out loud and clear, but the blend is
unique and undeniably Pearl Jam.
All that said, it is still one of the band’s most full-on rock
albums. It is sure to appeal to a much wider audience than pre
vious work by the quintet.

’’Body piercing saved my life."
_ Not a pierced car, nose, navel or tongue ... but pierced hands and feet. And not as a fashion
statement ... but as a sacrifice for you and me. Nearly 2000 years ago,
Jesus Christ was brutally nailed to a cross-crucified. Why did he suffer?
^X / hy did he die such a cruel death? So we wouldn’t have to. Because he loves us.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The punishment that brought us peace was upon him.
And by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 (Mew International Version)
And now here’s the real good news: he’s alive today! Clod is reaching out to people through His son, Jesus Christ.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Oasis lead singer
and band members
arrested in Munich
MUNICH, Germany (AP) —
Singer Liam Gallagher and
other members of the
rock
severa
British
band
and
A1.IA(>MHR
Oasis
its
entourage
were held for
questioning
after a fight
that left
Gallagher
with several
broken teeth.
Gallagher's injuries over the
weekend forced the band to can
cel concerts in Munich on Sunday
and Hamburg on Monday.
Munich police said they'd
detained three members of the
group, including Gallagher and
drummer Alan White, and two
of their bodyguards on suspi
cion of assault, resisting arrest
and damage to property.
All were released Sunday
afternoon after posting bail.
Munich prosecutor Anton
Winkler said his office would
decide before the end of the
year whether to press charges.
Witnesses told police the
clash began early Sunday in the
disco of the Muenchner Hof
hotel, where the band was stay
ing, when the band members
were drunk and started pushing
each other.
Olympic skater
starts Web site to
help cancer victims
CLEVELAND (AP) - Olympic
figure skater Scott Hamilton has
started an Internet site to help
newly diagnosed cancer
patients find information about
chemotherapy.
Chemocare.com features
information about how the
treatment works, how long it
lasts and how it affects different
parts of the body. The site also
includes inspirational stories
about Hamilton and other can
cer survivors.
Hamilton — a four-time U.S.
National Champion and four
time World Champion from
Bowling Green — is now a tel
evision commentator and skat
ing show producer. Diagnosed
with testicular cancer five
years ago, he underwent
chemotherapy and surgery and
says he's now cured.
"We need to really let people
know what it is, to give people
the information they need in a
language they understand," the
44-year-old said.
To determine what informa
tion was included on the site,
developers asked current and
former cancer patients at the
clinic what questions they had
when they were first diagnosed.
"It was our vision that
Chemocare.com would ate
real patient needs and ki
resource that newly diagr-:
cancer patients could tumtil
support," said registered rj
Ruth Fritskey, the site's
developer.
