Leonard Cohen is a legend, a national treasure, a musical giant, and a poetic genius. He's also old. Too damn old to be on a world tour. I say this not to be ageist. ...

Punk is dead. Actually, it died a long time ago once the Sex Pistols imploded and The Clash's Joe Strummer had the temerity to kick Mick Jones out of the band and then release the career-killing record "Cut the Crap." No, scratch that. Punk died

VH1's annual "Divas" spectacle aired last night. Two hours of overly emoting, overly styled, and overly self-conscious chicks on a mediocre musical parade led by crazy fallen "American Idol" priestess Paula Abdul.
