An All-Star Tribute to Johnny Cash (1999)
Top-notch presentation of top-notch music
This was the second TNT musical tribute (the first was Burt Bacharach's, and Cash was followed by Bob Marley and Brian Wilson), and by far it's my favorite of the four.
Even those who aren't into country music (I count myself among these) will be impressed by the body of music presented here. Not only is Cash the epitome of cool (he even appears on stage for a song), but looking at the array of musicians who accepted the honor of performing his songs, you can't help but be astonished at the effect this man has had on music today (his influence has been reversed, too, as since the early 1990s Cash has covered songs by Soundgarden, Beck and Tom Petty, among others).
Of course, you have the typical country artists, like Brooks & Dunn. A cut above them (in my opinion) are people like Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett. Getting a little more into the rock side are people like Chris Isaak and Sheryl Crow. And then there are the rock icons, like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. There's even an injection of rap, if you can believe it, with Wyclef Jean giving "Delia's Gone" his own little spin.
If you love music of any sort, do all you can to find a copy of this concert. You won't be disappointed.
Dawson's Creek (1998)
Great show
Forget all the naysayers. I'm 31 years old and my wife is almost 29, and we've been watching Dawson, et al, faithfully since episode 1.
This show contains all of the intricacies of teenage life that adults either don't remember or don't want to think about. Sure, the kids are little advanced, but so were we when we were kids--we don't think much about that. The writing is good, the acting is good, and over the years we've seen these kids change from gangly 15-year-olds into young adults that still don't know exactly what life is all about (like we aren't all in that boat).
If you want to check this show out, do so by all means. The people who have posted negative reviews are probably failed screenwriters who are just angry over those sour grapes.
