Chat With Collective Soul, Ken Burns

Ken Burns is the one of the few people able to gain national fame for making documentaries. It helps that instead of making ones about, say, Christo or R. Crumb, he chooses topics like the Civil War and baseball. A Ken Burns documentary means spending an evening with lots of slow zooms into grainy photos and voice-overs by Garrison Keillor -- not exactly a Jackie Chan movie, but it has a lot of quiet pleasures to offer. Chat with him about his latest, "Jazz," on msnbc.com at 12 noon EST, 11 a.m. CST, 10 a.m. MST, 9 a.m. PST.

Have you been Cormanized? See, in the panoply of bad film there are many born of sheer incompetence, made by poor deluded talentless souls who truly believe in their heart of hearts that they're making great art. Those are the godchildren of Ed Wood. And then there are those who simply don't give a flying rat one way or another, that are simply trying to push product out the door as fast as possible. This is the Roger Corman Way. But in practicing his "craft," Corman apprenticed countless stars who went on to bigger and better things, his production machine serving as Hollywood's AAA team.

I don't know from the hip new chamber music group Eroica, but the name sure sounds sexy. Don't tell me what it really means, I don't want to know. But the word on the street is that they actually are hip and sexy, basically living up to their name, and are lending chamber music a poppy, fun, and yes, sexy vibe. I've never used the word "sexy" so often -- I feel kinda ashamed. I better just give you the link for the chat -- yahoo.com at 8 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. CST, 6 p.m. MST, 5 p.m. PST.

When you think of Wicca, what comes to your mind? Me, I think of cheeseburgers. I'm sorry, I wasn't listening -- I'm really hungry. What were we talking about? Oh, Wicca? Yeah, that's the neo-witch religious movement that doesn't like to be pigeonholed as witches, preferring to be known for a nature-based ethos worshipping seasonal cycles.

AOLers only: Collective Soul is still going strong?!?! Good for them! At first they looked like they were riding the mildly grim post-grunge bandwagon, with tunes like "Shine" from "Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid," and "Gel," "December," and "The World I Know" from "Collective Soul." But their latest, "Blender," is supposed to represent a new breakthrough for them. Chat with them through tvguide.com at 9:30 p.m. EST, 8:30 p.m. CST, 7:30 p.m. MST, 6:30 p.m. PST. AOL members only.
