...charming clip and an apt metaphor for Morissette's career. As a teen star in her native Canada, she played the part of the well-behaved good sister. Now, on her U.S. debut album, Jagged Little Pill, she has transformed herself into a passionate and unruly rocker. But like the parent in the front seat, Morissette, 21, has kept her disparate selves in check and stayed on the road to success: this week Jagged Little Pill hits No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and in next week's Grammys it will be up for six awards, including Album...
...JESUS CHRIST CAME BACK TODAY, would he be an alternative rocker? In his day he was something of a counterculturist, hanging out with lepers, driving Pharisees and Roman governors to distraction, suffering little children to come unto him no matter what the stuffy old adults thought. So, were he around today, would he be ministering to disaffected youth in a mosh pit? Would his Sermon on the Mount be turned into a Street Corner Rap?

...resemble their cars. Or do cars resemble their men? Either--or both--might hold true of rocker Neil Young as he folds his lanky, cranky frame into the driver's seat of his rust-pocked 1958 Lincoln Continental convertible.

Now in the '90s Young is a father figure...
...says Neal Young, "makes no difference with music." This is made abundantly clear on his new album, Mirror Ball. Young's association with the youthful alt-rock megaband Pearl Jam has rejuvenated the 49-year-old rocker. Pearl Jam serves as an extraordinary backup band on the new album. Rather than a cheap marketing gimmick, the pairing is a natural coming together of rockers with a shared commitment and passion, saysTIME critic Christopher John Farley. This collection of thoughtful, involving songs is "one of the most consistently rewarding works of Young's long rewarding career." Previous TIME Daily Campaign...
...several other young performers are adding a blue tint to their sound. Last month British-born art screecher PJ Harvey released a blues-shaded album, To Bring You My Love; Houston-born rocker Chris Whitley has just come out with the bluesy CD Din of Ecstasy; and this week Chris Thomas of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, releases his blues-rap album, 21st Century Blues from da Hood...
