When it comes to Police-related documentaries, you’d think Hollywood types would bank on folks wanting to hear about Sting’s endless love or listen to Stewart Copeland bitch for two hours. But wild and crazy Andy Summers will be the first Policeman to bring his story to multiplexes, and what strange and sexy tales can fans expect amongst the “25,000 photos from his collection”?
This Fat Boys video is just the razor-sharp tip of a Nightmare On Elm Street video onslaught, capturing the moment when Robert Englund replaced whoever was wearing the Jason mask at the time as America’s favorite horribly disfigured supernatural serial killer. With that in mind we bring you four Freddy-related videos, one for each deadly finger. (P.S. The lack of a clip for “Nightmare On My Street” is a heinous omission in the Nightmare video canon.)

Fox 411 columnist and Jann Wenner enemy Roger Friedman is alleging that the radio monopolists at Clear Channel have flat-out told the programmers at their rock stations that they can’t play tracks from Bruce Springsteen’s Magic, despite the album being No. 1 on the charts last week. Songs from the Boss’ vault, like “Born To Run” and “Born In The USA,” are OK, and that’s causing Friedman to cry ageism:
