It's hard to appreciate Stevie Ray Vaughan's talent when you're in the act of lunging to change the station the second you hear the opening lick to "Little Sister" or one of his other overplayed radio hits. It's even harder if you happen into a bar whose featured entertainment is...
Last night, this season's remaining 50 Idol contestants left the City of Angels for the City of Sin and began working on Beatles classics in pairs and trios. Vocal coaches were essentially flogging them with barbed critiques during rehearsal and in what I assume was meant to be a cute...
