...vocals of Yes I Am, her 1993 quadruple-platinum Grammy-winning album, Melissa Etheridge's latest release, Breakdown, evokes the spiritual hunger and empowerment gained from the three-year hiatus she took to raise a family. Etheridge's folk-rock roots come to the surface in this album on love and loss, consciousness and confusion, hope and reconciliation.

Brutal pessimism: Milhouse asks his teacher how one can tell if one's in love, and she tells him not to worry, since most of us will never fall in love and will end up marrying out of fear of dying alone. Blistering social indictment: what looks like a press conference for a Tyson-like boxer, complete with adoring fans, members of the press...
