ROLLING WITH THE STONES Shine a Light, the new Martin Scorsese documentary, captures the Rolling Stones (pictured, with guest Jack White) on stage in all their weathered, wonderful glory
In the Rolling Stones' new concert movie, Shine a Light, there is a vintage interview with guitarist Keith Richards. A reporter asks Richards what he thinks about when he's onstage playing with the Stones. Richards coolly replies, "I don't think onstage. I feel."
Directed by Martin Scorsese, Shine a Light captures the Stones in their current feral prime, in breathtaking close-up. Scorsese shot the band in 2006, during two intimate shows at New York's Beacon Theatre, with guest appearances by Buddy Guy, Christina Aguilera and Jack White of the White Stripes, who duets with Mick Jagger in a heated country-soul version of "Loving Cup," from 1972's Exile on Main Street. But Shine a Light — named after another Exile song and the latest in a long line of Stones documentaries, including Gimme Shelter (1970), Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones (1974) and Cocksucker Blues, Robert Frank's notorious, unreleased chronicle of the backstage excess on the Stones' '72 U.S. tour — is a testament to the power of feeling, the blues-band empathy and brotherly defiance that continue to drive and define Richards, Jagger, guitarist Ron Wood and drummer Charlie Watts in concert.

News: American Idol: David Cook 'Billie Jean' #1 Song on iTunes!
David Cook "Billie Jean"
David Cook rearranges Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and makes the song sound brand new.
Judges:
Randy: “I think you’re probably the most original and the most bold contestant we’ve had.” “You might be the one to win the whole lot.”
Paula: “I’m blown away. I’ve got to tell you how smart you are. How brave you are.” David Cook is able to stretch the boundries without going over the edge.
Simon: “It could have been insane or amazing and it was amazing.”

e-studio-drummer writes "The hi-tech digital age and long distance communication and creativity continue to morph and adapt to new technology and the music world is no different! It too is scrambling to keep up.
There was once the tradition that recording musicians HAD to meet under one roof and a series of microphones to produce fine quality music. With the advent of high speed internet, ftp storage sites and mp3's, the ability to create in a 'long distance' fashion has truly revolutionized the way that music is made these days.
25 year professional session drummer Phil Robertson through his newly updated website www.e-studio-drummer.com has been recording tracks for the likes of major album projects, song parody producers, jingle and TV producers and singer songwriters for many years and sees it as the burgeoning 'value added' medium and means of delivery in this new digital age."

Call it what you will -- the downfall of pop music or its savior -- there's no denying that 'American Idol' is a fickle god-maker. Some winners have found great success (hello, Kelly!), some have been dumped by their labels (so sorry, Ruben and Taylor), while some also-rans have gone on to bigger and better things. We check in on 30 'AI' alums and fill you in on which ones are in trouble with the law, which are still giving it their best shot ... and which have fallen off the radar.
