...across as gimmicky, the songs on Hill's new album--though none aspire to great art--are tastefully rendered. Hill even serves up a romantic cover of a Bruce Springsteen song, If I Should Fall Behind. As you listen, it's hard not to picture Dawson giving Joey a kiss on the cheek...
Nobody tells me to kiss her arp. But when she works lush electronic orchestrations like Andrea Parker does, I believe we can work something out. In any case, you really have no choise but to work something out with someone as brazen as Parker. Unfazed by the mob-wide surge for skippy techno, she announced her hatred of Fatboy Slim to the media (market self-sabotage--how will the masses relate?).

Peter Sheras, professor of adolescent development at the University of Virginia, says many teens have become desensitized. Oral sex "might mean what a French kiss meant to us when we were kids," he says. Teens often shrug and say that oral sex never made anyone pregnant. Parents need to remind them, though, that it can transmit dread diseases, including HIV and the papilloma virus, against which even condoms offer little protection...
