...matured since then or whoever made that comment was hard of hearing. While Tappin has mastered the smooth, soft sound that put Kenny G on the tops of all the "Easy Listening" charts--evident when he joined the Panazz Players to do their rendition of an old Roberta Flack tune--but, unlike good old Kenny, Tappin is also able to really blow. Tappin received some of his tutoring from various instructors in Boston's own Berklee College of Music, and has since gone on to release two albums. His enthusiastic and explosive playing meshed well with Panazz's style...
...case, true fanatics don't let their ardor flag, regardless of the flack. Tara N. Lasovage '99 explains, "I loved [NKOTB] all the way through high school." Lasovage still has NKOTB posters in her bedroom and-says Jon(ny) Whalberg was definitely her favorite "kid." But she also loves Hanson, despite all their bad press and girly looks. "I'm on the field hockey team," she says. "I wanted to put 'MMM-Bop' on our psyche-up tape, but that didn't go over too well...

In a statement, Schiffer said her continued involvement was made "simply impossible" by "old problems" at the chain. Fashion Cafe founder Tommaso Buti has had problems paying bills, but a Cafe flack insists this wasn't why Schiffer left. It's another ripped seam for the eatery, which has recently seen closings of its Barcelona and New Orleans outlets. And, of course, there's a lawsuit. Investor Luigi Palma is suing Buti, claiming embezzlement, a claim Buti denies. Is it time...
...H.O.R.D.E. was great, we met some really good bands, made friends and had a good time. Lollapalooza was much more work and a lot more rock stars around. I just think H.O.R.D.E. is just a much more musical tour. It's gotten a lot of flack for being a hippie tour, that kind of Blues Traveler vibe, but personally, if I'm going to walk around at some festival in the middle of summer, all day long, I don't mind those kind of people because they're easy to be around. At Lollapalooza, the crowds are basically just mall...
