...themselves, these anecdotes are nothing special. At this very moment, animals are eating each other all over the world. What struck me as unique was the way the crowd watched this spectacle, completely transfixed, unwilling to leave in spite of the freezing weather. What does it say about Harvard, if the sight of a skunk or feasting bird elicits such a strong reaction? What kind of environment do we live in, if the slightest incursion of nature can draw a crowd of onlookers...

Neither Morisette nor Manson ever maximized their potential in either of these areas, and the supreme entertainment value that each of them brought to the concert couldn't mask these weaknesses. The audience loved Morissette and Garbage for the pomp and rarity of embracing a mutual moment with cultural icons, but the relationship never cut deeper than the shared hype...
