...colored boxes, which, we discover later, make up his concert set. By the bed is a TV buzzing with static; Waits harrumphs and coughs, scratches himself, sits on the bed to shave his neck, then, curious, points his electric shaver at the set and hits the button: zap, the fuzz snaps for a second to Waits furiously singing. Hmm. He hits the shaver again--Waits in a Lone Ranger mask. Again--Waits in a satin white jacket. Chuckling, he turns away, pulls a sheet over his boots and jeans, and falls asleep. The TV fritzes again, as it does between...
...moves nimbly on his mental map because all parts of it are equally clear. It does not fuzz off at the edges or border on larger mysteries. You do not fade from this map; you are either there, firmly placed, or you fall off. Stelian fell off. Stelian was the older brother, who did first all the things that Michael rapidly did better. But Stelian was soft, gentle and more social, vulnerable. He was partly a boyhood role model for Michael and partly a competitor to be surpassed (as friends have been since Sandy Cohen's day). Their mother admits...
...years ago, America's favorite man-child was Matthew Broderick, star of WarGames in Hollywood and Brighton Beach Memoirs on Broadway. Today Michael J. Fox holds the peach-fuzz prize.

These two attractive actors have confronted the "cute" factor in different ways.

It predates Nancarrow's dense, mind-boggling, rhythmic experiments in his Mexico City studio with the player piano, which later became his chosen medium of expression. Emotionally stirring, the piece deserves wider currency. And the swooping, sliding, fuzz-toned Purple Haze must be as close as a string quartet is likely to come to playing acid rock at the Fillmore. Jimi was never like this. Can Janis be far behind...
Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) has just been busted for disturbing the affluence of Beverly Hills; a few moments before, some bad guys had shattered decorum and a plate-glass window by heaving him through the latter. Now Axel, who hails from Detroit, where the fuzz's lot is mostly scuzz, looks wonderingly around. "This is the cleanest and nicest police car I've ever been in in my life," he murmurs. "This thing's nicer than my apartment." Very politely he requests the arresting officers to pull over if they just happen to spot any movie...
