"...And the tweens in the house -- the kids too young to go out on their own or to dig the Rugrats -- might want to check out N'Sync: The Atlantis Concert, which airs on CBS at 9pm.Saturday It's football, golf, or basketball, somewhere on the networks till 7pm, when NBC takes a break to air Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life. And who can resist that dandy Johnny Marks score ("It's a Holly, Jolly Christmas," "Silver and Gold") and the grandfatherly voice of Burl Ives in the 1964 animated classic, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? It airs at 7pm on CBS...."
How to Be a Popular Girl
Books Story June 22, 2001
by Dick Holland
Description: What will shy novelist Sarah Bird do now that she's back in the limelight, Dick Holland asks in this profile of the author of The Yokota Officers Club.
"...Later, she will dance, but now, as we visit over pimiento cheese and root beer, we hear, from the other room, "Brown-Eyed Girl," the Van Morrison classic important to the plot of the novel since it's the featured number in a go-go dancing competition. Also prominent in the soundtrack are Peggy Lee purring "Fever," Burl Ives harrumphing "The Donut Song," Gene Autry advancing the argument that he's an old cowhand, Dean Martin crooning "Besame Mucho," and Bobby Goldsboro's truly awful "Honey." Laid onto all this are the British Invasion nuggets "Needles and Pins" by the Searchers and "She's Not There" by the Zombies, and a couple of radio hits we'd just as soon forget from the same years: "Up, Up and Away" and "Cherish."..."

"...Naturally, she gives her virginity up to him, and they embark on a hot affair that manages to keep them as naked as possible. This is pleasant enough, but King offers comic relief in the guise of Oscar-winning actress Louise Fletcher and a scheming Burl Ives, plus a sexy flirtation between Fenn and Kristy McNichol as a bourbon-drinking, truck-driving, AC/DC cracker..."

String Theory
Music Story February 11, 2000
by Greg Beets
"...Nelson's incredulity was probably even greater when Stretford initially approached her to play cello on "Silhouette," a song from their 1995 album Crossing the Line. Although cello on a Stretford album made about as much sense on paper as Burl Ives singing "The Times They Are a-Changin'," the end result was a pop song with a much more harrowing emotional resonance than guitars could have produced..."

"...Kazan adds his mastery of set, form, and shadow, and with the refrigeration of lettuce as a gripping subplot, East of Eden is a fairly good watch. It must make swiss cheese of the novel, and it reels into maudlin theatrics at the end, but at least there's Dean, Kazan, and a benign Burl Ives (but of course), making East of Eden sufficiently entertaining melodrama..."
