...Bush's other big goal: doing away with the "social promotion" of children who fail the statewide reading tests yet are moved along to the next grade level. It is a controversial plan that few other states are even considering, because holding back tens of thousands of children would anger parents and bust state education budgets. But Bush, who hopes to get the plan through the state legislature in the next session, argues that failing to do so would be far costlier...
...album is good, but it's not great. He pointlessly re-records some of his older songs. Some of the new songs are unexceptional and some are excellent; this is more or less the way it's been since 1972. In "Nineteen in Naples," Richman ruefully examines his youthful anger ("I didn't like this and I didn't like that/I was such a little brat"), but the song is musically unimpressive. The titular "I'm So Confused" makes better use of the irritating synthesizers than most other songs on the album. Producer Ric Ocasek has stuck the distracting synths...
...bumbling leader of this pathetic team is Coach Klein (Henry Winkler), who immediately befriends the confused Bobby. Once again, Bobby finds himself taunted and harrassed by the cruel athletes, but this time Coach Klein suggests that he should fight back. And does he ever. The years of repressed anger rush to the surface, as Bobby visualizes all those people that have hurt him in the past. The result is a leaping, bone-crushing tackle of his tormentor that makes William "The Refrigerator" Perry look like the Maytag refrigerator man. Coach Klein, sensing the geyser of anger that he could harness...
...everything and make music with a fresh and original perspective--something rare and beautiful in the music industry. This band has always been a little different from everyone else, in a wonderful way. Don't ever call them standard or normal. At least, not yet. Raw energy and anger were more evident in earlier Cake music. Their two most widely-known songs, "The Distance" and "I Will Survive," stood out and were filled with intensity. Not so with this album. This new and somewhat optimistic energy has its value, but why ditch the smoldering resentment that so many fans identified...
Ironically, for a singer who supposedly becamefamous for her unfettered anger, Alanis' best workis her most subtle. "You Oughta Know" might be thesong that made her famous, but tracks like "AreYou Still Mad" will provide her with careerlongevity and new creative outlets. Much like thehidden number on Jagged Little Pill, thesong asks seemingly apologetic questions to aformer lover: "Are you still mad that I kicked youout of bed? / Are you still mad I gave youultimatums? / Are you still mad I had an emotionalaffair?" After a series of these soft,rhythmically soothing questions, she answers themwith a reverberating "Of course...
