My favorite political program is BBC "HARDtalk" with Tim Sebastian
The half hour interview is the result of detailed research and in-depth investigations. The programme host, Tim Sebastian, asks the difficult questions and gets behind the stories that make the news - from international political leaders to entertainers; from corporate decision-makers to ordinary individuals facing huge challenges.

It was coming from underground, literally -- a rich mix of Western rock and Eastern melody.

Have you seen Creed's "One Last Breath" video? I saw their live concert in Toronto over the weekend and it was amazing!
