CARLOS COSTA, A YOUNG, GOOD-LOOKING pilot, was used to Cuban fighter jets buzzing his plane when he searched for Cuban refugees afloat on the Caribbean. Costa was a member of a Miami-based group called Brothers to the Rescue, which tried to spot boat people from the sky. "You have to be a bit adventurous and nutty to do it," he told a TIME correspondent before a mission two years ago. "But there's nothing like saving a life."

That CD and its 1992 follow-up Now Is the Time consisted mostly of Paula Abdul-esque melodies and merciless drum machines--the kind of soulless pop one might play during an aerobic workout on the Love Boat. During this pop-lite phase, Morissette also opened for pseudo-rapper Vanilla Ice in a 1991 concert and appeared with Brat Packish actor Corey Haim in the 1993 Fox-TV comedy Just One of the Girls...
