...some nasty conversational repartee in the vein of Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately," Lisa Lisa plays a fan attracted to a male singer. The latter, the album's best and most aggressive track, is heavily layered with keyboards and Spanador's (of the Cult Jam) vibrant guitar solo. "I'm not your everyday average woman," Lisa Lisa sings. She tells us she will not be the victim of any relationship, because when you mess with her, "You're playing with fire/And you're gonna get burned...
Soon afterward, Toscanini settled in New York and robbed Mahler of his pre-eminence. More than that, Horowitz argues, Toscanini contributed to the historical circumstances that deprived America the chance of developing a vibrant, unfossilized musical culture...

With his vibrant voice, handsome face and extraordinary energy, he can dominate a large room with an aura of apparent self-confidence, but in one-on-one conversations he is surprisingly guarded.

After his novel Give Us This Day, about the birth of Solidarity, was banned by the Polish censor in 1981, Glowacki arrived in the U.S. as a virtual unknown. Hunting Cockroaches, which opened off-Broadway last week, transmutes his struggles into vibrant farce devoid of self-pity. During an emblematic sleepless night, as nightmare figures ranging from an immigration officer to condescending liberals pop out from beneath their bed, the pragmatic couple never complain of life's unfairness. They accept having to prove themselves. They just wish it would not take...
