...Black Crowes have returned to their rock and roll roots. From Chris Robinson's swanky, Jaggeresque strut to their soulful infusion of the Hammond B-3 organ and backup choir, the Black Crowes are rocking harder than ever. In their war against pop radio, the Crowes are indeed holding--if not gaining--ground. Maybe the Rolling Stones said it best with, "It's only rock and roll but I like it." On behalf of the standing room only audience, the Black Crowes, and the hordes of other steadfast rockers, I must agree...
...women (assuming that if women in the Hasty Pudding show are men, then men are women)? Stella Virgin (Robert Schlesinger '00) is a dangerously subversive character, a postmodern repetition of the much-parodied "White House intern" figure. Doused in blush and armed with a lolli (ta)pop, Schlesinger's cotton candy-cum-phallus act is not very sexy, but still a marked improvement over Monica...

Host more guests and professors for dinners and discussions in the Houses. The Senior Common Rooms (SCR), the loose network of professors and visiting scholars affiliated with each House, are grossly underutilized. Students never meet most of these luminaries; the few accessible ones pop in for an occasional Sunday brunch. Why not have SCR members lead discussion panels on interesting issues of the day or give general talks about their fields of research? Also, when SCR members host prominent visitors to their departments, perhaps they could invite those guests to the House for dinner or discussion...
