People may think TV critics have way too much fun delivering bad news, but it isn’t enjoyable to watch a whole bunch of new fall shows and find yourself wondering where your life has gone. In the category of “how we got that story,” TV critics get to watch rough cuts and in some cases final cuts of at least the premiere episodes of most new shows. Because they are rough cuts, you have to watch them all over again for the actual review when the show premieres because there’s a very, very slim chance that the show might be a tad changed.

Two hardy 10 year-olds from San Francisco yesterday became the youngest swimmers ever to make the 1.5 mile crossing from Alcatraz to the city. Pat Reid beat Emma Macchiarini-Mankin by 18 minutes to break a 35-year-old “youngest swimmer” record set in 1955 by John Hunter, then 14. Emma, a freckle-faced fifth grader, holds the record for being the youngest to swim the Golden Gate, a distinction she won last year. When Pat paddled ashore about 10 a.m. at the South End Rowing Club at the foot of Hyde Street... Читать дальше...

The summit of Mighty Mars and lucky Jupiter promises the ultimate can-do partnership, though the effects may be delayed by Mercury’s retrograde in Libra. Aries (March 20-April 18) Tricksy Mercury pirouettes in your relationship sector, not the best placements for contracts. The big guy has settled in beside expansive Jupiter in your creativity zone. “Just a hobby” could suddenly grow legs, or an idea that fell by the wayside could get a new look in the weeks ahead.

DVD review: ‘The Driver’ has Morrissey as a tough cabbie If you’ve been enjoying David Morrissey as the Governor on “The Walking Dead,” you will be left breathless as he puts aside lifeless politics to swerve and careen his taxicab through the least beautified areas of Manchester as cabbie Vince McKee. Hey, old chum, sign on as the driver for a leading city criminal known simply as the Horse (Colm Meany, that grand villain of the U.S. series “Hell on Wheels”). There’s always a new turn for the worse... Читать дальше...

The annual Hairdressers’ and Dressmakers’ Costume Ball, with incidental music by Amilcare Ponchielli, opened Tuesday night at the Opera House, and, except for occasional interruptions by a traveling band of minstrels, the evening was pronounced a signal success — the principal signal being a strangled, “Hey, bartender, where’s that drink I ordered an hour ago?” As the beginning of the fall season it was the absolute end, and the flower and glory of our metropolis was there in full drag, madly playing the great game of Very San Francisco...

Francesco Maria Veracini was one of the virtuoso composers who in the early 18th century helped turn the violin into the dazzling solo vehicle it would remain for centuries thereafter, largely through his performances across Europe and only secondarily through his own writing. If this sleek and energetic recording of Veracini’s twelve sonatas, Op. 2, from 1744, doesn’t quite make a persuasive case for him as a composer, it certainly isn’t for lack of trying. Violinist Rachel Barton Pine takes the lead role ... Читать дальше...

Album review: The world wasn’t necessarily waiting for another solo album from Keith Richards — his first in 23 years — but who could deny the familiar gravelly tone and well-tread blues licks of “Crosseyed Heart”? Recorded with drummer and co-producer Steve Jordan on analog tape, it’s a purposefully backward-looking set of music in which the Rolling Stones’ resident guitar god imagines himself an outcast (“Suspicion”), fugitive (“Robbed Blind”) and, in “Illusion,” a duet with Norah Jones, a scorned lover.
