After AshleeGate erupted Saturday on SNL, Ashlee Simpson was fortunate enough to have a chance to redeem herself, of sorts, a mere 48 hours later at the 2004 Radio Music Awards last night. According to all she sufficiently rocked, and did so live. I mean LIVE live. The effusive administrator …

First off, this man is an absolute master on Spanish guitar. He is amazing to watch because his technical skills are flawless and the music he creates is beautiful. He makes it look so effortless that if only you just picked up a guitar and started strumming, you to could …

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown originally aired all the way back in 1966 and is second only to the sainted Christmas pageant in Charles M. Schulz’s great seasonal Peanuts pantheon.
