...when are you going to take me out,' because I liked him and I was a huge flirt freshman year." While Brian doesn't remember Jeanne's racy behavior because, according to Jeanne, "it was an affront to his masculinity," he still called her to take her out to "Evita" for their second date (and his second time seeing the movie). After watching the movie, which neither liked, Jeanne asked Brian why he had taken her since had disliked it the first time. Brian replies, cuddling closer to Jeanne, "I just wanted an excuse to be with...
...Nike Lady making was to the Seinfeld set. Her impact was immediate--especially on the show's star, who apparently had an unambiguous sense of entitlement. Seinfeld's appetite for free sneakers became legendary. His office overflowed with shoe boxes, and one ex-writer remembers Jerry emerging "like Evita, tossing extra sneakers to the staff." In time the staff members too became hooked, and for them Tracy provided a catalog in which they could check off whatever they wanted. "It was everything--running shoes, hiking boots, sandals.

Wasn't that she on the back cover of her 1992 shock-pop album Erotica sucking on some stranger's foot? Isn't she the original Material Girl...
...throwaway dance numbers--it all seemed the same. Moreover, she never had the voice to truly be a respected presence in the music world--the early '90s saw Madonna confined to the DJ racks at '80s dances. And of course, she realized this--and promptly took action. After her Evita lessons, Madonna's voice has become confident, rich, and boldly unique. On the title track, she dives into a campy, exhilarating discofest that has her jumping octaves, attacking wildly high passages, and having a rollicking good time showing off her new skills. Amidst all the other expressions of spirituality...
