Fonda was on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday night and Letter-man asked how she feels about the war in Iraq. Fonda got a big hand from Letterman's audience when she said, "I think the war is wrong. I think it's a mistake, and I think that we should get out." Letterman had just held up the infamous photo of Fonda sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun.

Fonda, who is promoting her autobiography, "My Life So Far," said she is the "lightning rod" for the still open wounds of the Vietnam War CD: Late Beatle Harrison's classic still amazes CD: 'Nov mixes are losing luster of the CD, but monica playing? And "Let It Down" is an incredible, musical masterpiece. son's 1970 release includes the ex-Beatle guitarist playing with some of his famous the best Even the artwork on the packaging is great. It features Harrison, some lawn gnomes and a friends, such as Eric Clapton and former bandmate Ringo Starr. It also includes a version of "If Not For You," a song by Bob Dylan. songs are past their prime by teenage standards.

Second, while the whole goal is variety if you're not a fan of pop, hip-hop, or country, you'll just end up skipping those tracks and not enjoying the CD very much. Among the genres represented on "Now 18:" U2's "Vertigo" (rock), Lindsay Lohan's "Rumors" (teen pop), Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" (hip-hop), and Keith Urban's "You're My Better Half" (country). Modern rock, pop-punk and round out most Let's see. There's John, Paul, Ringo Everyone has their favorite Beatle, but more often than not, the solo accomplishments of George Harrison get lost in all the Fab Four hoopla. So if you're a teen who hasn't been introduced to the late Harrison by a wise elder, "All Things Must Pass" is a double-disc set of his most amazing work.

(Harrison died in 2001.) "All Things" available in a remastered minibox set that marks the 30th-an-niversary edition of Harri It's as formulaic as music can get. But every-time a new "Now That's What I Call Music!" com- pilation hits stores, it goes straight to the top of the charts. However, to this reviewer, it's become increasingly apparent that the "Now" catalog has been on a slow and steady decline. The premise is still good slap a bunch of hot radio singles on one convenient disc but the newest version, "Now 18," has some serious flaws. First off, most of the statement about civilization.

Simply put, this CD is music in its track is easily Howie Day's emotive "Collide." If the "Now" people could crank these discs out sooner, maybe they could capitalize on that "in the moment" feel and teens would have more to enjoy Otherwise, "Now 18" ends up sounding like an outdated mix CD, making it the worst of the bunch so far. LukasEggen, 15 purist, most artistic Overall, I was impressed with this collection. I mean, who doesn't love a song about apple scruffs especially when it involves some awesome har- form. If you're interested in digging into the past for true talent, "All Things Must Pass" is a great start. Lacy Drengler, 17 and she feels "sad about that."
