Kanye West had the audience on their feet as he taped an episode of “VH1 Storytellers” at The Sony Stages in Los Angeles. [1]

I loved the intimacy of the VH1 Storytellers so much. [2]

Storytellers is a television music series produced by the VH1 network. [3]

Watch music videos and pundit clips by Nick Cannon and others. [4]

In each episode artists perform in front of a (mostly small and intimate) live audience, and tell stories about their music, writing experiences and memories, somewhat similar to MTV Unplugged. [3]

The music of Matchbox Twenty –or, more accurately, singer-songwriter Rob Thomas and his backup band–is spotlighted in this 10-song, hour-long Storytellers entry, recorded in New York in February 2001. [2]

If you saw it on VH1, you’ll see it here. [...] Cheap Trick is also on the bill for this summer’s biggest rock event. [4]

Meat Loaf enjoyed the show so much that he bought the stage decorations from VH-1 and went on to do a “Storytellers” tour in 1998/1999. [3]

Their picks include Coldplay, Snooop Dogg & more! [1]

Watch the clips and hear what he has to say about each of his faves. [4]

This DVD features a great mix of songs from their initial album “Yourself or Someone Like you” and the follow up “Mad Season”. [...] DVD bonus features include a music-only option and one additional song. [2]

One of boxing’s best, pound for pound, Juan Manuel Marquez has thrilled fight fans for over 13 years with his pinpoint accuracy and fight ending power. [1]

One of boxing’s best, pound for pound, Juan Manuel Marquez has thrilled fight fans for over 15 years with his pinpoint accuracy and fight ending power. [2]

Compubox scoring had Juan Manuel Marquez landing 42/201 (21%) jabs to Pacquiao’s 43/314 (14%) jabs, it also had Marquez scoring 130/310 (42%) power punches to Pacquiao’s 114/305 (37%) power punches. [3]

HOUSTON - Almost exactly 10 years ago to the day, Juan Manuel Marquez climbed into a boxing ring inside of a tiny ballroom of a small casino in Coachella, Calif., before a few hundred diehard fans. [4]

Juan Manuel Marquez (49-4-1, 36 KOs) beat Joel Casamayor (36-4-1, 22 KOs) by 11th round TKO on Saturday, September 13, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. [5]

He brought a 27-1 record with him into that featherweight fight with Jose de Jesus Garcia and a deep, abiding belief in his own ability. [4]

Marquez’s next fight will be an IBO and WBO Lightweight Title fight televised on live HBO against Juan Diaz (34-1-0, 17 KOs) on Saturday, February 28, 2009 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. [5]

On March 15, 2008, Juan Manuel Marquez lost his Super Featherweight Championship to Manny Pacquiao via a highly disputed split decision. [...] M?rquez wouldn’t lose again for another six years as he compiled a record of 29-1 that included a win over future champion Agapito Sanchez, and former champions Julio Gervacio and Alfred Kotey. [...] He has also held the IBF, WBA, and WBO featherweight (126 lb) titles and the WBC super featherweight title. [3]

Best remembered for his thrilling 12 round draw with Manny Pacquiao in 2004, this former WBA and IBF and current interim WBO featherweight champion has plenty left in the tank as he chases after the big fights in the coming years. [1]

Best remembered for his dominant decision win over Marco Antonio Barrera in 2007 and his thrilling two fight series with Manny Pacquiao, this former WBA, IBF, and WBO featherweight champion, former WBC super featherweight champion, and current Ring lightweight champion has plenty left in the tank as he chases after more big fights in the coming years. [...] Two fights later, Marquez added the WBA strap when he won a seven round technical decision over Derrick Gainer, and on May 8th, 2004, he would face Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao in his first super fight. [...] But from the second round on, the fight was all Marquez, as he put on a stirring boxing clinic. [2]

Marquez has become inextricably linked to Pacquiao in the five-plus years since that draw. [4]

JM Barrie is a man in his 40’s who still has the imagination and innocence of a young boy. [1]

Barrie became world famous with his play and story about PETER PAN (1904), the boy who lived in Never Land, had a war with Captain Hook, and would not grow up. [2]

Like his immortal Peter Pan, Barrie never wanted to face the pain and unhappiness of the adult world. [3]

JM Barrie is a wonderful playwright who is the mastermind behind the story of Peter Pan. [1]

He is best remembered for creating Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, whom he based on his friends, the Llewelyn Davies boys. [4]

Wendy Darling with her brothers accompany Peter Pan to Never Land where he lives with the Lost Boys, protected by a tribe of Red Indians. [2]

At Dumfries he and his friends spent time in the garden of Moat Brae house, playing pirates ‘in a sort of Odyssey that was long afterwards to become the play of Peter Pan’. [4]

Jamie, as he was called, heard tales of pirates from his mother, who read her children adventure stories in the evenings. [2]

The English dramatist, who hid a barbed wit and slightly mocking view of life beneath often cloyingly sentimental surfaces, was first represented in America by The Professor’s Love Story (1892) and Walker, London (1894). [3]

One day when Barrie visits the family, he is surprised to find that Peter has written a play and uses his brothers to act out the characters. [...] Barrie shows them through the play that they can visit Neverland any time they want, as long as they never lose their imagination and innocence, just like Barrie. [...] When Peter sees the play in the theatre, he is captivated and realizes that they are the boys in the play and Barrie is Peter Pan in the way that he helped them to forget their worries and fly away to Neverland. [1]

Even at his old age, Barrie could play enthusiastically Captain Hook and Peter Pan with the son of his secretary, Lady Cynthia Asquith. [2]

Barrie continues to visit the boys and come up with exciting new adventures for them all to go on, like a crew fighting pirates on a ship, and each time trying new ways for Peter to join in and use his imagination. [1]
