...Play," you said the feminist-indie-rock star is going pop to make her new album more commercial [MUSIC, June 30]. Say it isn't so! I like my female rockers to sound angry--at people who have betrayed them and the guys who broke their hearts. Phair's CD Exile in Guyville was a hit because every woman could relate to it.

"I will not take it," a man reportedly exclaimed. "It is making too many people Christian!" --By David Van Biema
...CD that remixes Yoko Ono's music, Walking on Thin Ice, has topped the dance-club play chart [MUSIC, May 26]. I'm ashamed to admit that, like many other Beatles fans, I hated Yoko until the day John Lennon was shot. It was only after his tragic death, upon seeing the film Imagine, that I realized just how deep and genuine their love for each other was. I don't think the world knew how to embrace true soul mates. John's love for Yoko was naked and raw, and we turned away out of ignorance. We were unhappy...
