The Beginning OF The World ​in The Middle OF The Night

In the late 1980s The Residents embarked on what many fans still consider their greatest live project. “Cube-E – The History Of American Music In 3 E-Z Pieces” spanned almost four years and proposed to do nothing less than its title suggested, telling the story of American popular music, from its birth around the campfires of a non-existent Old West to its death at the hands of Elvis and the British Invasion, all in three easy pieces.

For many people, over several generations, the celebration of the AdventChristmas-Epiphany season begins with the annual St. Olaf Christmas Festival, a century-old tradition of the college.

Historian and author Michael Wood brings his unique mix of history, travel and adventure back to PBS in his series, "In Search of Myths & Heroes." In this series, Wood embarks on a set of "on the ground" adventures in search of the world's most famous myths: The Biblical story of Queen of Sheba, Celtic tale of King Arthur and Indian Shangri-La myth.
"In Search of Myths & Heroes" sets Wood off in pursuit of these enduring myths and their roots in historical fact. Wood retraces the steps of these stories and their mythic heroes, crossing the deserts of Yemen and trekking the Himalayas.
