...also have a way of being the solution to every problem, from low profit margins in mega-corporations to low test scores in public schools.

As the founder of Maverick Records, Madonna certainly has learned something from Alanis Morissette, her label's recent mega-discovery. "Drowned World" is a colorful, refreshingly down-to-earth song that sounds Tori Amos-like and could easily have come from Alanis herself. Madonna pours herself out without the least bit embarrassment: "Had so many lovers / Who settled for the thrill / Of basking in my spotlight / I never felt / So happy...
