Since Nov. 2, Keene has worked in the window of the Goldie Paley Gallery at the Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, where hordes have waited for the paint to dry on his festively colored works. He has sold all 2,000 paintings he brought with him from his studio in Brooklyn, plus several hundred new ones. They've been carted away by senior citizens, children, homemakers and business people, who slip folded bills into an honor box. Keene, who works 12 hours a day to meet the demand, charges $1 to $5 per painting...

Pavarotti's big, clear tenor easily trumps Dion's showy yelp, and he doesn't stop there--he goes on to overwhelm the song's flitty lyrics and thrash its slight melody. Final score: Pavarotti: 3, Song: 0, Dion: 0. And while we're at it, give Dion a zero for this album...

Stomp seems to be serious about its philosophy. In performance, it really does make startling, beautiful use of the unexpected. The opening act sets the tone for the rest of the show: A young man, wearing a scruffy work shirt and jeans splattered with paint, enters from the wings, pushing a large broom before him across the dusty floor. Evidently intrigued by the noises made by the rhythmic swish of the broom's bristles against the floor, he begins to experiment with its tempo and pressure, resulting in swishes and taps of varying pitch and loudness...
