...roll. "Wake-Up Bomb" packs on the weight of conventional, driving guitar chords, predictable drum patterns, and, deadliest of all, the title sung over and over again as the chorus, a la "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight." A later track, "Bittersweet Me," has the spastic energy, not to mention the intro rhythms and chords, of the Rolling Stones' "Start...
Fitzpatrick also helps by keeping the range of tempos and melodies varied from song to song. Even for a seasoned Eve's Plum concert-goer, the set list never loses its momentum. The intro drum beats to "Jesus Loves You" get the crowd bouncing on its feet as the audience anticipates the bright, saccharine song. Fitzpatrick stares listeners in the face and grins while singing "They say I'm damned to hell/Well, I'll be damned."

Just the thought of that was more entertaining than anything the Pharcyde offered...

Joking aside, the Reeve interview and feature, which ran the length of 20/20 on Sept. 29 (the newsmagazine's highest-rated program in more than two years), were one of Walters' finer hours. Once past the hokey intro ("I think he's more Superman now than ever before"), she was host of a compelling session in which Reeve, speaking on the exhale through his ventilator, let the viewer feel the despair he felt when he first realized what had happened to him, the panic that hit him the first few times his ventilator stopped functioning, the love of his family...
