...Commonwealth in search of higher education, becoming an economic force to be reckoned with. No one is more aware of this than local radio stations, which go to great lengths to seduce this mass of purchasing power. Few are guiltier of such shameless snakecharming than 104.1 WBCN, the "Rock Revolution", who sponsored the College Rave '99 at the BankBoston Pavilion on Sunday. With a college ID and ten dollars, you could be subjected to relentless banners and a loosely amalgamated show featuring four bands that share only the common threads of BCN air time and coincidentally synchronized Boston tour dates...

Portraying "Chris Gaines," Brooks is hoping the novelty of a dye job and a funky goatee will have the masses running to the nearest Virgin Megastore. The reviews certainly aren't going to attract them--critics have been brutal. He'll learn a lesson the hard way--no one likes a gloat...
...Thank goodness Physical Phyllis quit smoking (731-7311)--now she can scale the wall at Boston Rock Gym (781-935-7325) without all the huffing and puffing! A yummy wrap at The Low-Fat-No-Fat Gourmet Cafe and Juice Bar (932-7676) finishes the afternoon off right...
