How did your life collide with the headlines in 2007?
Iraq, the subprime crisis, Facebook, immigration, oil prices - 2007 had no shortage of hefty headlines. We'd like to hear about how these and other major news events of the past year affected you. Where did your life collide with the news in 2007?

What's your holiday performance story?
The office talent show, the neighborhood caroling posse, the school pageant ... At holiday time we often sing, dance, and dress as shepherds. Did you bloom in the warmth of your audience's adulation, or freeze up like the snowman you'd rather be building? Did your holiday performance change your life or that of someone close to you?

Robert Pollard

Indie rock fans know Robert Pollard as the hard-partying lead singer of the band Guided By Voices. He was 36 before the band received any sort of acclaim, teaching grade school for half of the band's 21-year career. Pollard has recorded more than a thousand songs, and even though Guided by Voices broke up in 2004, he is still writing and touring as a solo artist. Reporter Sean Cole asks Pollard what drives him to produce so much.
