...with surface questions. He asks extending questions: Why? What if...?" When the class studied the Russian Revolution, Tyler wanted to discuss what would have happened if the Romanovs had escaped: What if they had come back after the fall of communism? His writing also reflects an uncommon mix of the imaginative and the methodical. He prefers to write on deadline: "It feels like a deadline unlocks a chest where all my creativity is locked," he explains...
...days of heavy rain was not the only problem with Mixfest '98, the seventh annual, two-day concert event sponsored by Boston radio station MIX 98.5 (WBMX). Fans who braved the weather to spend a disastrous afternoon at City Hall Plaza soon realized that they were duped by a manipulative publicity bonanza on the part of MIX radio. In hindsight, it seems that this concert had little to do with free music, and a lot to do with free publicity for the radio station.

If the concert must remain downtown though, maybe some of the numerous corporate sponsors who got plenty of press from the event could pitch in and purchase...
...what about the musical acts? How should I know? Like everyone else, I only showed up to see the Bare Naked Ladies. (After a tremendous line-up last year that reunited half of Lilith Fair, MIX stumbled badly this year, relying almost completely on the Bare Naked Ladies to draw the crowd.) And after three songs, I decided I would rather listen to them at home. At least it was dry there, and by flipping through their album cover, you can actually see them while you listen. That used to be the point of a concert...
