...Shall We Dance?" Romero develops Bobby's character to the fullest, in a touching, charming manner, while Carella seems almost born to play the role of Patsy, the sweet-girl-next-door who steals Bobby's heart. Crazy for You, in the tradition of the grand musical comedies of yesteryear, truly does have it all--stellar cast, vocals, dancing, and costumes. As the closing song goes, who could ask for anything more...

Consequently, its prominent products comprise not much more than mediocre commercial formulas devoid of the creative zeal of yesteryear, aimed instead at providing new images for advertising agencies or at escalating the Billboard mountain. According to my boy, the recent Time "Hip Hop Nation" cover and Eminem's success story are symptoms of the culture's sad commercial zenith, comparable to the beginnings of the demise of every other...
