...album last spring, Oops!...I Did It Again, she had grown up, gaining breasts (by what means remains unclear) and losing all inhibition. Britney, 19, who was just co-host at the American Music Awards, is scheduled to start shooting a movie in March and may soon record a duet with her newest admirer, Madonna. And while continuing to promote her wholesome attitudes (yes, she insisted this month, she's still a virgin), she is enticing a legion of young fans into a world that is anything but G-rated...
...Uncle Pen," "Rawhide" or "Hoppin' John." What we do get is Bruce Hornsby turning in an unexpectedly effective, moody version of "Darlin' Corey," John Fogerty lending the Creedence treatment to "Blue Moon of Kentucky," and the Dixie Chicks showing off creditable playing skills in their duet with Skaggs on "Walk Softly," which has been nominated for a Grammy. And those who associate Travis Tritt and Charlie Daniels with more heavy-handed material may see them in a different light after hearing their contributions, especially Tritt's modest but nifty banjo playing on "My Little Georgia Rose." It's refreshing...
...startlingly loud I didn't really look up to see whether they were actually playing "Also Spach Zarathustra" or whether it was prerecorded. I was doubled up in surprise.

On "Big Exit," Harvey meditates on human suffering, but concludes with "I'm immortal when I'm with you." Radiohead's Thom Yorke accompanies her vocals on the flowing duet "This Mess We're In," a sweetly sexual exchange. Finally, Stories ends with "We Float," possibly the most elegant ballad she has ever written. With P.J. Harvey, you never know when her happiness will give in to dissatisfaction, but you do know this album will remind...
...High is decked out in the traditional pink dress and golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: "Salvete, omnes!" (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. "How many people are in a duet?" High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know, a boy responds, "Because duo is 'two' in Latin." High replies, "Plaudite!" and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral. "Latin...
