...developed with noble enough intentions. The fireman who put it together did it to help train fire and police departments across North America against being blindsided by future Columbines. But when the videos were released on Wednesday, the press immediately seized upon the songs by musicians such as Sarah McLachlan and Cheryl Wheeler featured on the tape, and the victims' families cited the sensationalistic appearance of the video as evidence of Stone's insensitivity. Why, they asked, didn't Stone's office hand over the tape sans soundtrack to just the families requesting them rather than make them (soundtrack...
...almost 20 years after his death, Marley's influence is still growing. A dance remix of his hit Sun Is Shining is the No. 1 song in U.S. clubs. Next month an all-star tribute to Marley will be held in Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica, featuring performers ranging from Sarah McLachlan to Busta Rhymes (it will air on TNT Dec. 19). And next month Bob Marley: Soul Rebel (Thunder's Mouth; 144 pages; $22.95), by former Billboard reporter Maureen Sheridan, will be released, detailing the stories behind Marley's songs. Earlier this year a Marley-themed restaurant/ club opened at Universal...

...then there is Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing, a beautiful album of light folk-pop--which could be a euphemism for "slow death." Davis divined a vast pool of potential buyers awakened by the Lilith Fair Tour, so Arista flogged the album at MTV and radio for months until the dam finally broke. At 7 million sold, Surfacing has become a Jewel-and Alanis-style blockbuster. No wonder the stymied Artist most of us still know as Prince beat a path to his door. His new Arista album debuts next month...
After this summer's Lilith tour, McLachlan plans to take a break for a year or two to recharge her batteries at home near Vancouver and embark on a trek across India with her husband, drummer Ashwin Sood. "It makes sense to call this the last Lilith," she says. "It's incredibly rewarding to be part of something that is gaining women recognition, but it's also a huge amount of work." And too, she wants to devote time to another kind of creativity. "Some of us in our 30s want to have children, and we all realize that...
