Busy as she is strapping on those sandals, cocktailing to an imitation Bonnie Raitt and taking on clients who want to sue God, Ally McBeal probably doesn't have time to watch some of the new woman-themed TV programming that has arisen in her wake. And perhaps that's really best; for if she did have a look, Ally might see her dream of upmarket long-term love crumble like so much poorly packed wedding china.

As for alternative rockers, they have the same relationship toward success that one imagines Ally McBeal has toward food: even a small slice of the pie leaves waves of guilt. Rappers make money without remorse. "These guys are so real, they brag about money," says Def Jam's Simmons. "They don't regret getting a Coca-Cola deal. They brag about a Coca-Cola deal...
Performances ranged from the serious to the light-hearted. White-Peppers presented a selection from a musical written by Derrick N. Ashong '97-'98, Songs We Can't Sing. Black Students Association Vice President Jason B. Phillips '99 did a comedy routine, poking fun at Ally McBeal, Oprah Winfrey and shopping period...
