(U-WIRE) SEATTLE, Wash. – My roommates don’t quite know what to make of me. Before you jump to conclusions and assume I have smelly skeletons in my closet, let me explain.

“Rock ‘n’ roll is here to stay,” Tom Petty said during a recent interview on “The David Letterman Show.” Petty and the Heartbreakers prove the point in their new album, Echo (Warner Bros.), which shows rock ‘n’ roll’s staying power despite changing times and changing musical styles.

After serving as The GW Hatchet’s sports editor for two years, I’ll be moving on and trying to let go.

On the 12-song album, the band alternates between orchestrated, mellow love songs and the edgy, angst-ridden rock songs that […]

GW President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg said administrators have recently discussed the possibility of moving the Elliott School of International Affairs to a new location to open classroom space for the law school.

In the history of rock ‘n’ roll, many cities have been the home of great bands – Memphis, New York, San Francisco, London, Manchester, Wales. Wales? Yes, you read that right. Now, some of the most interesting and exciting bands are coming out of Wales, such as the Manic Street Preachers and Catatonia, to name […]

“Customer First” is written on the white button Daisy Rich wears on her forest green apron. The message has become more than a slogan for her. With sliver-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, she sings a song she created: “Oh I got your card. I got your meal deal, baby.” To many students, Rich may […]

A tall young man in a long black gown stands before the mirror scrutinizing his reflection. “My goodness,” he says in a voice somewhere between dainty and husky. “My breasts are so low, they could be real.” He adjusts his chest, smoothes his hair and lumbers proudly back to the dance floor atop unforgiving heels.
