			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/entertainment//294566</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Call me old-fashioned, but some of us like to celebrate the Fourth of July on ... the Fourth of July. Big is good, but give me your &quot;oooh, &quot; your sigh, the neighborhood-oriented fireworks of your teeming sky. I lift my sparkler beside thy smaller door. ( &quot;Use under adult supervision, dispose of properly. &quot;)  I like great, big Rhythm and Booms just fine. But like most of Madison throughout history, I love Independence Day. Friday ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In a summer movie season dominated by brawn -- even an animated, plump panda kicks butt -- Middleton &#39;s American Girl seems the least likely contender for big-screen attention.  But here it is: American Girl &#39;s plucky Depression-era character, Kit Kittredge, age 10, starring in a G-rated film opening nationwide Wednesday. That &#39;s the same day that Will Smith releases his effort, the sci-fi superhero flick &quot;Hancock. &quot;  And Kit also faces holdovers Indy Jones, Iron ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If MAD magazine ever takes on Broadway, the result might look very much like &quot;The Musical of Musicals: The Musical!&quot;   University Theatre&#39;s summer cabaret parodies many of the best-known songwriters of New York &#39;s Great White Way. The question is, Will anyone other than musical buffs get it?  Yes and no. Even serious theatergoers may be challenged to catch all the references, but anyone should be able to enjoy this production as foolish fun.  The satirized songwriters ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ SPRING GREEN -- It makes sense that Matt Schwader looks like the boy next door. Because he is.  Although his studies and acting career have taken him around the country, Schwader, a three-year veteran of American Players Theatre who joined the core company this year, grew up in Kenosha. He cut his teeth on APT by coming to shows while still a renegade teen, a kid with talent and charm to burn, but with high school ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ SHEBOYGAN -- No matter what you call them -- folk artists, self-taught artists, or environment builders, their vision and untrained eye for the sublime, is astounding. And the work of these master artists is often found in their own backyards.   Not everyone has their talent, vision or raw courage. But the common denominator of these folk artists is that they often like to create big, yard-size pieces of art made from &quot;found objects. &quot;  The John ... ]]></description>

It&#39;s part of Underwood&#39;s yearlong Carnival Ride Tour, which included co-headlining shows with Keith Urban last spring, several concerts this summer, then the upcoming non-stop trek from Sept. 23 to mid-December.

There I was, in Madison &#39;s Mecca of after-bar food at 2 a.m. on the busiest night of the week, and the line between me and my Chicken Alfredo pizza was only a few tipsy students long. But, as I was herded to the side with others waiting for their slices, I noticed more and more people spilling ... ]]></description>

Never mind that in &quot;Ah, Wilderness!,&quot; the only comedy by the great American playwright Eugene O &#39;Neill, Uncle Sid just lost his job, young people are calling for &quot;change&quot; in politics, the newspaper business is in flux, and -- golly, why do these kids think they have to grow up so fast?

			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/entertainment//294613</link>
			<description><![CDATA[By age 21, singer Sebastian Bach fronted the hair-metal band Skid Row, sold millions of albums and enjoyed ample fame, debauchery and money. Skid Row&#39;s success was quickly crushed by grunge rock, but the band continued &#8212; though it parted ways with Bach, now 40, whose angelic looks and soaring vocals gave him a broad-based solo career. Bach made it to Broadway, did TV (including a recurring character on &quot;Gilmore Girls&quot; and many cringe-inducing cable ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When the north wind blows in Wisconsin, a hearty bowl of soup can warm the body and nourish the soul with the blink of an eye. That&#39;s probably why &quot;Mary from Middleton&quot; requested the Great Dane Brew Pub&#39;s creamy baked potato and bacon soup last January. However, we all know that summer surprises in Wisconsin can often produce chilly temperatures to warrant something warm and creamy, so although the soup recipe was not available when the ... ]]></description>

			<link>http://madison.com/wsj/home/entertainment//294569</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Printmaking is among the most resolutely contradictory of the contemporary arts. It &#39;s premised on archaic technology (woodblocks 1,300 years old have been recovered in Korea), but is constantly being rethought, re-tooled and expanded.  The finished product is inherently reproducible, but the technique is used to emphasize the hand wrought and unique. Accomplished artists who have gained fame for work in other media return to the form again and again, yet few who are primarily printmakers ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Life is good for Poison&#39;s Bret Michaels.  Michaels, singer of the late- &#39;80s hair band with a bundle of bouncy pop hits and ballads, enjoys a sizable nostalgia crowd -- and unlikely contemporary fans who know the group because of Michaels&#39; cable TV reality sleazefest &quot;Rock of Love. &quot;  And Saturday, Poison performs at the Alliant Energy Center &#39;s Willow Island, part of the group &#39;s extensive summer tour.  &quot;We deliver what we say we &#39;re going to ... ]]></description>
