...rapper and a singer, an entertainer with an ear to the streets and an eye on the top of the charts. He has written and produced hits for Santana and Whitney Houston and has also worked with Destiny's Child and Sinead O'Connor.

...others who are Gore's problem. Why? He seems to them too much a pleaser and a chameleon. (Women may share this opinion, but I'm talking about the men).

Tracy Ullman has been sending up American stereotypes on television for many many years now-her wildly popular self-titled show has gained her a vehemently loyal following. "The Simpsons," of course, premiered as a short on her show before exploding on the FOX Network.
