...longer. Hill, D'Angelo and Maxwell are distinct performers, but they share a willingness to challenge musical orthodoxy. For too long, critics, taking the public with them, have looked to rock and gangsta rap to fill the pantheon of pop heroes. But there was a time when auteurs had soul, when Marvin was asking what's going on, when Stevie was singing songs in the key of life, when Aretha was demanding respect.

FM fully supports such sociopathic tendencies, if only for prurient reasons. Just to give you a leg up on the rest of your peers (they're thinking just like you are, so you don't have a moment to spare) we're giving you this advice: it all comes down to what you're doing during the last few weeks before your first year at Harvard.
