Review title: Past is present Product review: I agree with the review that made the analogy between the events in this book and our present state of the world. As we get further away from Sept. 11, 2001, some of the similarities between the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terrorism" are downright frightening. However, Bin Laden's a great deal more culpable and vile than the "Robin Hood"/Tony Montana-esque character that Bowden makes Escobar seem. The stakes are clearly higher now than what's set forth in this book.This book and Bowden's excellent predecessor (and equally relevant) "Black Hawk Down" are required reading for a better understanding of where we may be going, and how we're going to get there.

Review title: Stands up to teenage boy Product review: My son plays trumpet in his high school marching band. He's not the most delicate creature when it comes to handling his possessions. He announced last year that he was required to have this gizmo for holding the music on his trumpet. I was concerned because it looked like fragile plastic, assuming I would be replacing it every month or so. He used it through the heaviest performance season of last year and has begun this new school year with it still intact. I'm impressed! I would recommend this product and would make the same purchase again.

Review title: A great sentimental video for the long-time Scorpions fan Product review: When I first viewed this video I thought it was a bunch of bootlegs put together in a video format. However, after watching it a few times, I view it as a fond memoir of the Scorpions tour through Russia. The Russian's genuine appreciation for good rock 'n'roll is apparent as the camera finds a night club with the Scorpions performing with some of the local bands. Klaus also gives one of the Russian fans a "piece of rock 'n' roll" by giving him a pair of pants he has worn "many, many times on stage, it even has sweat stains"The video also daunts a few of the old MTV videos, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Rythme of Love and Blackout.
