One minute, you're writing commercial jingles with your buddies. The next, you're touring the United States as the opening act for Katy Perry.

Nothing is scarier than a city commission that's all smiles. Politicians are preternaturally disposed to disagreement, so voters should be skeptical whenever commissioners suddenly go full kumbaya. On the scale of suspicious love-fests, this past April 10 was a doozy. City of Miami commissioners lined up to laud a so-called...
To call The Dance of Reality, the new film by Alejandro Jodorowsky, a personal film, would be an understatement. Writing in his native Spanish, from his home in Paris, the legendary director says, "The purpose of all true art is to reveal to man the beauty of your own soul."...
"People should either be caressed or crushed," Niccolò Machiavelli once wrote. "If you do them minor damage they will get their revenge; but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do." Seth Cohen clearly did not get the civics lesson. In summer 2012, the then-43-year-old New Yorker went...

There's no doubt that Major League Baseball's Department of Investigations accomplished exactly what Commissioner Bud Selig sent it to South Florida to do.

Miami's Torche remains one of the most unique heavy bands ever, melding catchy, melodic vocals with a bludgeoning, slack-stringed guitar assault and drumming that has more in common with the sounds of a mortar assault than rock music. The resulting sounds are as potent as they are unique, which may...
"That's so Miami." It's a phrase you hear everywhere in this town, from exasperated locals and bemused tourists alike. Wearing your bathing suit to Publix? That's so Miami. A $22 cocktail? That's so Miami. Last year the O, Miami Poetry Festival devoted a monthlong competition to verse describing the unique...
The laws of supply and demand apply equally to real estate and reality television. In a marketplace saturated with options -- Kardashians, Real Housewives of Anyplace, etc. -- the value of each individual property is diminished. So how can Million Dollar Listing Miami, Bravo's spin-off of its similar series in...
