Dear GYA, I can't believe Snoop Dogg quit rap music and changed his name to Snoop Lion. It reminds of me of that time when Michael Jordan tried his hand at baseball or when Bono became McPhisto. These things never turn out well. Anything happening this weekend that won't change its damned name on me? - Garth Brooks aka Chris Gaines---

Garth, I know what you mean, but sometimes people create alter egos that turn out pretty well. Remember when David Bowie did Ziggy Stardust? Or how about when Stephen Colbert became Stephen Colbert? Anyways, here are a few solid choices for your weekend that are pretty cut and dry:
