Isaac Hayes Hangs Up Chef Hat
Category: Show News
Posted by Mark Runyon | March 14, 2006 | 11:02 AM
Soul singer Isaac Hayes has quit being the voice of Chef on South Park after a recent dissatisfaction with the show's cuts at religion. Hayes, a practicing member of the Church of Scientology, was quoted as saying, "there is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins." A recent episode of the cartoon poked fun at Tom Cruise and Scientology, but Hayes didn't specifically mention that show in his reasoning. South Park co-creator Matt Stone says that episode is exactly what caused this rift. "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology. He has no problem - and he's cashed plenty of cheques - with our show making fun of Christians," Stone said. It remains to be seen whether the character will be written out or simply revoiced.

Bic Runga - Birds
Category: Album Reviews
Posted by Mark Runyon | March 14, 2006 | 08:02 AM
 |  | Grade: B- | Genre: Light Pop Summary: Birds doesn't have that magnetic single like Beautiful Collision did in "Get Some Sleep," but on the whole it shows a greater consistency as Runga continues to grow as an artist.
Bic Runga is an artist hailing from lush landscapes of New Zealand. She has literally defined the music scene in the land of Kiwi, notching two multi-platinum selling albums that set records for album sales on the isle. She's branched out from her native land to tour from the edges of the globe and has stirred up international acclaim among the music intelligenca for her low-key work. Her most recent album, Birds, is introduced as a sibling of her past work. Quiet, a bit awkward, yet beautiful in its silent touch, Birds continues the rich tradition Runga has forged. |
