Scientists for many years refused to believe it: Students who, in high school, worked like Harvard was Salvation with sweatshirts couldn't possibly complain once they got there (except, ahem, about the Senior Gift). Lately, though, researchers have admitted it does happen, "But it's like doing Buns of Steel for four years and then sticking your head up your finely-tuned...
...Have you been remiss in filing your, ahem, 1996 tax return? Well, you might want to get on that, and not for the reasons you think. The IRS estimates that about $2 billion in unclaimed refund money is waiting for 1.6 million delinquent filers. More than 50% of these slackers could get at least $442 back. So file your '96 return and get it to the IRS by April 15. You won't get penalized for filing a late return that merits a refund. One catch--no refund until you've also filed your '97 and '98 returns...
...here and there, for credibility, I suppose. And I was worried about bringing earplugs. Gets worse, though: Iggy starts--there's no other word for it--starts crooning, he does. This somewhat mortifying circumstance is alleviated a bit by the fact that the song he is singing is called, ahem, "Nazi Girlfriend." The lyrics, though: "Her French is perfect/So is her butt." The ageing rocker wannabes, perhaps more mortified than most--both by the low, low volume of their evening of youth recaptured and by their own girlfriends' imperfect French and butt--begin yelling. And yelling quite audibly, since Iggy...
...stage. Fowler has an extensive background in theater, but this is his first "official" show at Harvard. He's a singer at heart, and spent his freshman and sophomore years living it up with the Harvard Krokodiloes. The Kroks may not have been a seminary, but they sound divine (ahem) and no doubt prepared Jeff for Superstardom. His background as a vocalist also allows him to approach his role in Jesus Christ Superstar as a singer who happens to act rather than as an actor who happens to sing--a perfect match for a rock opera, which demands an incredible...
...Sure, sneer at R.E.M. and their earnestness and politics and wussiness, but no arguments about this: the boys know how to make good music. Unlike other popular bands of the past and present (ahem, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Cranberries et al.), every one of R.E.M.'s albums has some redeeming quality. No synthpop or electronica experiments to be found! Even better, all of their earliest albums have withstood the test of time and sound fresh and new today...
