Another song I can't seem to shake is the number eight track, "What It Feels Like for a Girl," which comes off as a lyrical counterpoint to Christina Aguilera's "What a Girl Wants." In the latter, of course, the blond teen queen sings of boys who can please their girls by "knowing exactly" what they want. Madonna doesn't sympathize: "Good little girls they never show it / When you open up your mouth to speak / Could you be a little weak? / Do you know what it feels like for a girl...
...Walking through the trapezoidal yellow doorway, I found myself charmed by the d?cor and clean, well-squeegeed feel of the place. Luxuriant red tile framed the self-serve soda-machine area, sliced through by a row of white squares with the swaying-palm logo that serves as a visual counterpoint to the chain's trademark yellow zigzag.

In the early 1970s, she wrote one of the first anti-feminist manifestos--The Female Woman, a counterpoint to Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch--anticipating the backlash against feminism before there was a hint of it. Her next book, After Reason, called for a commingling of politics and religion just as American evangelicals roused themselves from decades of political apathy. During the era of Reaganite glitz, she settled into...
...music Orbit was producing at the time. Wisely avoiding the fancy bells and whistles that many electronic producers seem unable to resist, LeGassick has instead imbued Summer with an organic, retro feel. Although it may lack some of the lushness of lang's earlier work, it creates a dramatic counterpoint to her shimmering voice. He opens the bossa nova-tinged Summerfling, for example, with a spare drum beat and a chugging organ line, giving lang's voice plenty of room to bob and weave.
