The Four Seasons still lack respect. For one, their brilliant Genuine Imitation Life Gazette holds up better than many post-Sgt. Pepper concept albums, and surely trumps the Bee Gees' Odessa. Plus, from 1972-1975, they were signed to Motown and now, reissued for the first time, are 1972's Chameleon and 1975's Inside You. A more adult-contemporary '70s cool-out feel dominates these records, but it's a last gasp of viability before they would go with trite retro-style hits like "Oh, What a Night."

Health and Human Services Public Hearing

By Naoko Yoshida on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:53 am

“One of the most heart breaking things for me is the great number of homeless veterans,” said Ralph Cooper, executive director of Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse. “As you can tell, I’m getting older and my gray hair tells the truth. You can’t imagine how painful it is for me to talk with men and women who served in Vietnam, men and women who are young, coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq and they are homeless. How disgraceful is that?”
