Morrissey used to possess the singular ability to make his obsessive self-pity entertaining. He moaned so pathetically and bemoaned his loveless fate with such vicious, sarcastic glee, that even the most navel-gazing songs retained a sense of humor. Since his split with the inspired Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, he's relied more and more on this lyrical inventiveness...
Call them the ever-shrinking group. In their earliest days the B-52S were a quintet riding the new-wave crest, but the death of guitarist Ricky Wilson and the recent resignation of vocalist Cindy Wilson have dwindled the group to a trio. Still, as their seventh album, Good Stuff, demonstrates, their talent has by no means diminished. What were once "rapid-fire three-way vocals," as singer Kate Pierson calls them, are now back-and-forth dialogues between Pierson and Fred Schneider.

FANS OFTEN PROTEST WHEN PERFORMERS move away from the sounds that made them popular. Well, TRACY CHAPMAN loyalists can't make that complaint.

The band, whose oldest member is 21, has been playing together since they were all in junior high. Now they've got a hit album, Mental Jewelry, and a slot on MTV. And they're getting ready to tour Europe and then record again. Think about that when you put on your graduation robe and a funny hat and pick up your degree...
