That would be bad, however, because Marvel has saved the best for last. It’s miles better than that Norse god with the magic hammer, and just a hair below the greatness of Robert Downey Jr.’s first go-round in his iron armor, both of whom will team with Cap in next summer’s guaranteed nerdgasm, “The Avengers.” […]

Freeze, please
And what do you want when it’s triple-digits? Why, “fro-yo,” of course.

How hot is it?
It’s so hot that you might resort to these items for relief. But be warned: Some of them are so uncool, they may not be worth the cold. BY ROD LOTT

Folk hero
Woody Guthrie was a masterful writer, a talented musician and a brilliant visionary. For many, like performer Jimmy LaFave, it’s a shame he’s not always remembered as such. “There’s a real treasure here,” said LaFave, who performs Friday at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, which runs today through Sunday. “There’s been a real injustice done […]

Young love
It’s not hard to give a ballpark description of Young Widows’ sound, but pinpointing it is a whole other ball game. “It’s heavy rock music, but it’s not classic rock and it’s not metal,” singer and guitarist Evan Patterson said. “There’s this gray area that doesn’t get explored because people want to belong to these […]

A poet’s passion
Lewis, a tall, stocky man, has been writing poetry since high school. This interest has spanned across his days as an athlete, and even his time in the military. His life, which had its beginnings in what he described as the rough streets of Cincinnati, has been far from easy. He’s endured losing close family […]
