Aloha, readers,

Beginning next week, Thursday's Island Life section is changing.

Hawai'i readers have an avid interest in health and fitness, and to satisfy that appetite, we will feature our weekly Fitness Profile and Charles Stuart Platkin's popular Shape Up column on Thursdays.

Starting a week from today, you'll find our weekly Prescriptions columns and Health Calendar on Thursdays, too.

If you have a suggestion for our Fitness Profile subjects, reach us at islandlife@honoluluadvertiser.com or 525-8034.

GREATEST SONGS II: THE NEXT GENERATION

It's music geek war! Blender magazine editors apparently hated Rolling Stone's baby-boomer-centric and largely '80s- and '90s-ignoring 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time so much that they did their own. Dubbed the 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born, Blender's Gen X- and Y-appealing list of post-1980 tunes starts off with no. 1 "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, No. 2 "B.O.B." by OutKast, No. 3 "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, No. 4 "One" by U2 and No. 5 "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. From there, it name-checks Rolling Stone list M.I.A.s Ludacris, Superchunk, Whodini and t.A.T.u., among others. Prepare the iPod and pick up Blender's October issue for the whole list.

FINAL WORD

"Tomatoes are weird. The only way I can eat ketchup is to ... (convince myself) that it doesn't come from tomatoes."
