The Art of Healing, an annual event produced by the Progressive Students Union

(PSU), was put on Tuesday night in Adams Playhouse. The event was advertised as a night of entertainment that would incorpo­rate values concerning activism

and awareness.The event was free, but it

was asked that you donate a certain amount of money to the Hempstead Boys and Girls Club.

Throughout the program, the Long Island chapter of Food Not Bombs was also promoted. Attendance was fairly weak this

year, with only a smattering of people in the audience, and prob­ably less than ten warm bodies present without obligation. The !"#$%&!'()*%+&,-%$.,&#%/0-$%#,%!%comedy duo, from acoustic guitar songs to karaoke performances. The event was hosted Amanda Beneway and Mary Kate Pedro, representatives of the PSU. Despite the positive and well­

meaning nature of The Art of Healing, it can only be described as a dismal failure. The talent was piecemeal and came off as ill rehearsed. Each act was crippled by the all­encompassing atmosphere of awkwardness perpetuated by the perfect storm of fumbling MCs, acts with little stage presence, and an overall air of disorganization.

that has a lot of potential. With some more selective talent and bit more organization, it could be a popular and well­executed event. This year, however, did little in the way of healing.

album that will tip Minaj over the other side into a household name. It’s a kaleidoscope of pop

arrangements, electronica and hip hop and it’s really a a great pop record. It opens with pop standard “I’m The Best,” with

Minaj boasting over synthy brass but it sets a really appropriate mood for the album. Clicky drums and electronica pads carry her as she raps about where she came from, where she is now, it’s celebratory and deserved.The album has a bevy of stand­

outs and all of them are both radio­single­worthy but keep their individuality. It’s a bit shocking to hear so much mainstream hip hop funneled through Minaj’s bi­polar, off­the­walls rapping ability. She can’t sit still; when the beats aren’t great, she still is.“Right Thru Me,” “Moment 4

make to what Pink Friday sounds like is probably Kanye West’s Graduation or Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon: The End of the Day, where pop and hip hop all mixed together so cavalierly that the two facets are indistinguishable.Minaj’s debut is important

little thing about the vehicles is brought out – from the shine to the depth of the rendering done on the cars. Also what makes the visuals element even more impressive, is the damage system. The crashes and damage done to the cars use realistic physics, but they are also detailed as to what parts of the car fall off, and how the cars run after crashing.

Still, even Cox’s abortions are a great deal more interesting than many like­minded artists’ serious efforts.

Then the plot jumps back to the adolescent years of Pink’s life. Chris Wentworth played Pink, a demanding role requiring him to express a range of emotions from withdrawn to psychotic to deliri­ous.

However, for example, when Pink is alluding to the absence of his father, the backdrop of war combat explains to the audience his father died as a soldier. The scene of a man drowning in what looks like blood and the deformed cartoon characters, in particular, intensify the mood of the play, giving it an eccentric, almost grotesque vibe. Another high point in the

musical, of course, is the music. All­time classics like “Another Brick in the Wall,” and “Is There Anybody Out There?” are two of the most powerful songs. They are performed as Pink realizes the adults in his life are trying to control him, and that everyone has abandoned him. The recur­ring themes of isolation and alien­ation in his life are the key factors leading to his mental break down. All in all, this musical has an impressive cast of actors, a dedi­cated production team and an exceptional selection of music.

The holidays are just around the bend and soon we’ll all be at

home setting up our Christmas trees or Chanukah menorah or what have you. So while you’re drinking your eggnog or hot chocolate and setting up for all

sorts of festivities, you’ll need an equally festive soundtrack. Here are a few suggestions from my personal catalog of holiday favorites:1. “Christmas Time Is Here”­

A classic tune off of the Vince Guaraldi Trio soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas, this song is classic Christmas. For a more modern version, look for song as done by Belle and Sebastian or Gatsby’s American Dream.2. “Happy Xmas (War Is

Over)”­ Full of spirit of the season with a touch of John Lennon, this applies the whole “and good will to men” theme in a broad sense.3. “Merry Christmas Baby”

– A great song to play for the one you’re happy to spending Christmas with (or sad to be missing). You can go with Charles Brown ballad or the upbeat take from Bruce Springsteen and The

E Street Band.4. “Christmas (Baby Please

Come Home)” – Nothing wrong with a little bit of lament to break up the seasonal cheer. U2 does a heartfelt rendition of the song, but my personal favorite is Death Cab for Cutie’s take.5. “Blue Christmas” – Low and

crooning, it’s hard to beat this heartfelt song. The Elvis Presley version is classic stand by, but if you’re in the market for some­thing a little bit more yearning, the band Bright Eyes does an admirable remake.6. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” – A

fun duet remind us that everyone needs a little warmth during the holidays. The adaptation involv­ing Ray Charles is both playful and musically well done. Another version worth looking into is a new interpretation from Norah Jones and Willie Nelson.7. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas

(If Only In My Dreams) “ – It’s hard to beat Old Blue Eyes for the holidays. This Frank Sinatra classic never seems to get too old. 8. “It’s Christmas! Let’s Be

Glad!” – A distillation of what Christmas should mean in today’s culture. Sufjan Stevens has penned a short and simple song about being glad, even if the year has been bad. 9. “Christmas of Love” – This

jaunty song from Little Isidore & The Inquisitors is perfect for dancing around the Christmas tree or just having a good time in general.10. “River” – Originally penned

by Joni Mitchell, my favorite ver­sion comes from Herbie Hancock featuring Corinne Bailey Rae on vocals. Rae’s voice brings out the beauty in this somber tune, while Hancock’s playing gives this deli­cate song a tender treatment.

Christmas is here at Radio City Music Hall with the annual arrival of the Rockettes and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. You can feel the holiday season approaching. There is no better way to gain a little holiday cheer than to see the Christmas Spectacular. !"#$%"&'$(%$)**#+$'(,"$,'#*-#$

different numbers that are not necessarily related directly. Each number features a small dancing ensemble, a chorus of six people,and, of course, the famous Rockettes. There is no way to describe the Rockettes

other than breathtaking. Each dancer is perfectly in sync with the other performers on stage, and each of their moves are crisp and sharp. Though some steps are frequently repeated through­out the show, the dances are simply amazing and include the famous kick line. The kick line is not only a Rockette tradition, but is also amazing to watch because &.$,"#$/0(+(,1$23+$4#5.#6,$,(7(389$$The ensemble is also very skill­

ful, but is perhaps overshadowed by the Rockettes. With such wonderful dancers on stage, it is hard to pay attention to the actors in the background lip­ sync­ing. However, they add to the effect of the show and make the

scenes seem more realistic, and therefore, are an integral part of the show. The cutest ensemble members are the child actors. The young girl who plays Clara from the Nutcracker scene will have a bright future in the business, as displayed by her incredible ballet performances. The young boy who plays Ben seemed so excit­ed to be on stage that he ador­2:*1$/0::#+$,"5&08"$"(%$*(3#%;$:0,$with such a cheery audience it didn’t matter.

If you are looking for other reasons to see the Christmas Spectacular you should look no

further than the stage ele­ments. The Christmas Spectacular uses 3D effects as well as trick mirrors to bring Santa to life which makes “Here Comes Santa

Claus” one of the best numbers. The Rockettes’ costumes were as stunning as the women who wore them. During “Sleigh Ride” I was amazed to see their reindeer

costumes equipped with string lights within the costumes them­selves. The girls also performed a quick change during “New York at Christmas” while inside a double­decker bus that maneuvers itself on stage. In addition, nothing is more surprising than watch­ing live camels and sheep being guided on stage during “The Living Nativity.”The Christmas Spectacular is

a fantastic show to kick off the holiday season. While those who have seen the show before will recognize almost all of the num­bers, it still makes for one of the most wonderful times of the year.

The Christmas season was rung in a little early this year with two holiday specials on TV this week. ABC gave the stars of country

music their own special night to sing classic Christmas songs with a little bit of twang Monday night with “CMA Country Christmas.” Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles hosted the hour and a half special in which Brad Paisley, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire and others sang about the season of celebrating. NBC followed in ABC’s foot­

steps the next night with a two­hour “78th annual Christmas Tree Lighting in Rockefeller Center.” Singers like Josh Groban, Boyz II Men, Sheryl Crow and Susan Boyle sang renditions of classic Christmas songs. The Radio City Rockettes also preformed during

the special.The interesting difference

between these two shows was that one was taped and the other was live. This difference was made very evident. “CMA Country Christmas” was taped and the performances were crisp and clean sounding with no errors to be found. Meanwhile, on the Tree Lighting, Charice, the Filipina teen singer made famous by Oprah, was bewildered when her prerecorded music did not play 2,$)5%,9$<"#$23+$,"#$20+(#36#$had heard, instead, the end of the Boyz II Men music. David Foster, the piano player accom­panying Charice, saved the day by announcing that it was live TV and things like that could happen. Her song started a few seconds later and the show, as they say, went on.Whether taped or live, both

specials did what was most important to them: they honored

the troops serving overseas. Both played the same song, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” in hopes that the troops would be home soon.During the “CMA Country

Christmas,” Rascal Flatts sang a special rendition of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” The song started with a graphic of a large advent calendar. As the song 45&85#%%#+;$,"#$/24%$&4#3#+$,&$reveal pictures of the men and women serving overseas. “The 78th annual Christmas

Leslie Nielsen passed away at the age of 84 this week and left behind a legacy of comedy that few can match. In the 80s and 90s, he was the face of the parody genre.

Nielsen by my mother when I was in middle school. She took me to a video store (remember those?) and suggested that I might like Airplane!. I did. It was the movie for me that

comedic actors had, which was the ability to be funny regardless of the material. His aloof face, his completely straight oblivious­ness— he was always spot on.
