One sunny afternoon not long ago, Dick Copaken sat in a booth at Daniel, one of those hushed, exclusive restaurants on Manhattan’s Upper East Side where the waiters glide spectrally fro table to table. He was wearing a starched button-down shirt and a blue blazer.

Copaken spent many years as a partner at the white-shoe Washington, D.C., firm Covington & Burling, and he has a lawyer’s gravitas. One of his bes friends calls… Read more »

“Remedy,” the new single by South African neo-grunge band Seether, continues to climb the chart, which is a real thrill for a group that hasn’t released a new album in three years. Yet frontman Shaun Morgan has some issues on his mind that are making him kinda cranky. And even though he knows that whining when you’re shining can be a bad career move, he just can’t hold his tongue. “Our new album is the culmination of a lot of anger and fear of the music industry and the people that happen to have power over our careers,” Morgan said.… Read more »
