...more substantial. Though his singing voice (he and Witherspoon do their own vocals) can't approach Cash in its lonesome depths, he has the gift of finding a home in this troubled mind, of moving in and living there. When he stands before an audience, unleashes the dread Cash stare and holds his guitar like a machine gun, you wonder if he's going to open fire on the crowd or himself. If Witherspoon has the gift of residing in her character, of moving in and living there, Phoenix seems voluntarily consigned to the Folsom Prison of Johnny's darkness...

...Jimmy. He has the classic underfed, spiky-black sneering punk look rarely seen past the 1970s (but frequently outside the Harvard Square T stop). His friends are freaks, but they have a quiet dignity, which the video conveys by panning over their faces as they stare profoundly into middle distance. His girlfriend resembles Brittany Murphy on a cocaine-and-makeup binge. The first part of the video depicts Jimmy’s life as a hazy, jumpily filmed swirl of sex, drugs, rock-’n’-roll, hating his mom, and watching Green Day perform...

Facing it, one child extra started sobbing and had to be replaced...

...tried to shrug it off, directing my attention to the math team and the Spanish club instead.But a hunky, post-year football player in the trainer’s room soon distracted me from these academic endeavors. He had a public school swagger and a deep-set, brooding stare; we flirted over AIM for weeks (secretly he’s still on my buddy list) and then spent a few afternoons on the bleachers talking about his demanding father, about his difficulty in calculus, and about his disappointment with a losing season. I liked listening to the quarterback let down...

...like to flaunt my Harvard degree, but I like my anonymity. Should I ask my parents to stop? Thanks, Confused Dear Confused, We’ve all walked in your shoes. Many times I’ve told my parental units’ friends that I attend Harvard. They stare in shock and awe when I drop that bomb like I’m over Baghdad. They genuflect. They whisper “genius,” or “beatific,” or “God-like...
