...observed that my head was small enough for headphones, so that I could listen to music during the half-hour in question. My choices were less than exciting: old Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey, jazz--loosely defined as Michael Bolton or someone else I'd never heard of--or Boyz II Men. The lack of relaxing music, like something from the Beatles or the Grateful Dead, was disturbing. I was nervous. Boyz II Men it was, though I couldn't stop thinking about the inane concept of Michael Bolton as a jazz musician...

...there waiting for the first picture to start, unsure of what would happen. There was no need to worry. When the MRI starts, there is no doubt that it's happening. The first, third, and fourth pictures might as well have been taken at a construction site. Boyz II Men competed with the machine, which sounded like a jack hammer. It wasn't ideal, but the second picture was undoubtedly my least favorite. The machine rocked me as if I were reclining atop ocean waves.

...long ago, it was difficult to overstate Bobby Brown's influence on black pop music. In the mid-1980s he was a teenage star in the bubblegum-soul quintet New Edition, which became the blueprint for dozens of harmony groups, including Boyz 2 Men. On his own in the late '80s, he became even more innovative with Don't Be Cruel, a small masterpiece that helped create new jack swing--a commercially potent rap-R. and B. hybrid that still echoes in the work of Mary J. Blige and R. Kelly...
