Despite this rejection, fratboy and friend were not fazed. During "Lovefool," the Cardigan's paean to foolish love, they slowly inched their way through the crowd, the scrawny boy sitting atop the shoulders of the stout one, with the apparent intention of obtaining that kiss. Persson coldly avoided all eye contact. This reviewer was personally hoping they'd make it all the way, but the fratboy duo were unfortunately bogged down mere feet from the stage...
...this the future of network television? Fox is sure hoping it is. One of the few breakout shows last year was Comedy Central's scabrous South Park, and the year before, Fox had its own success with that animated paean to redneck Texas, King of the Hill. Now the genre that seems to offer the quickest shortcut to countercultural chic is becoming more popular than ever. The three start-up networks (Fox, UPN and the WB) have scheduled seven new prime-time cartoon series for this year, and more are in the works. "Animated shows stand out from the pack...
...next millennium, the song burst with a rumbling electronic landscape and apocalyptic guitar chords. Other songs, like the guitar-driven "Erase/Rewind" and the ethereal "Higher," were transformed by this ominous aesthetic into manifestoes of the dark, as Persson's voice became barbed and deceptive.

...bountiful and delicious cherry crop. Old-timers insist that the region's soul lives within the sprawling orchards. But the festival's banners, posters and promotional material tell a different story. The event these days seems not so much a celebration of a cherished fruit as a paean to corporate America. Everywhere you go, you are reminded that "Ameritech presents the National Cherry Festival." Pontiac, Pepsi, American Airlines and A.1 steak sauce have attached themselves to the blossom. More than a third of the festival's $2.2 million budget is underwritten by some 60 corporations. The truth is, the festival...
WILL WINDamon (who will win one for his screenplay) and Hoffman (who already has two, doggonit), are easy to strike. I'm not convinced Peter Fonda's career ever impressed anyone enough to merit a "comeback" paean, so look for Robert Duvall to eke out a victory over SAG and Globe winner Nicholson, Duvall is much-admired and under-Oscared, and he wrote, directed, financed and starred in his picture...take that, Matt Damon...
