Top Album Of The Week
Pearl Jam
Twenty
Columbia / Sony
"Twenty" by Pearl Jam is an incredible compilation of the twenty years of 
Pearl Jam's existence.  The seattle scene of the '90s included Nirvana, 
Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam, the most overtly commercial of the 
gang.  Ticket sales set off the kind of hysteria not seen in rock since the 
Beatles.  With Eddie Vedder's unique driving vocal style and the delicate 
interplay between guitarists Steve Gossard and Mike McCready, they combined theirRead all of this week's Top 21.

DVD Review
The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show

NBCUniversal Television / TIME-LIFE

The Dean Martin Variety Show first aired in 1965, quickly became a blockbuster for almost 10 years, and still remains a one-of-kind in the history of TV. Dean never rehearsed, smoked non-stop, and always had a drink in hand...and people loved it!  With his easygoing charm and incomparable talent, he was a natural on TV and audiences responded to him enthusiastically.

A Song To Woody
By: Bob Dylan

I'm out here a thousand miles from my home
Walking a road other men have gone down
I'm seeing a new world of people and things
Hear paupers and peasants and princes and kings.

Hey hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song
About a funny old world that's coming along
Seems sick and it's hungry, it's tired and it's torn
It looks like it's dying and it's hardly been born.

VIEW ON THE SENATOR

Notices the tension in the room.  The Chairman commences:

				SENATOR KANE
		We have here a witness who will
		testify further on Michael
		Corleone's rule of the criminal
		empire that controls gambling in
		this country and perhaps in other
		countries.  This witness had no
		buffer between himself and Michael
		Corleone.  He can corroborate our
		charges on enough counts for this
		committee to consider a charge of
		perjury against Michael Corleone.
			(then he turns to Pentangeli)
		Your name please, for the record.

				PENTANGELI
		Frank Pentangeli.

				SENATOR KANE
		Were you a member of the Corleone
		Family?  Were you under the
		Caporegime Peter Clemenza, under
		Vito Corleone, known as the
		Godfather?

There is a long silence.

VIEW ON PENTANGELI

He seems unable to speak.

				PENTANGELI
		I never knew no Godfather.  I got
		my own family.
