...constant fixture throughout the award presentations. Most of the dissident noise was less subtle. The Goths across the aisle from me weren't the only ones carousing; one suspects several of the obstreperous performers and presenters imbibed before taking the stage as well. The Shods, presenting Best Country Act, came on stage eating and griping about being kept from their fair share of chocolate-covered strawberries (The award, by the way, went to the Dave Foley Band). The lead vocalist for Half Cocked, upon presentation of an award, queried the audience, "Is anybody drunk out there?" Select members of Tree...
...artists on stage and the pop/rock fans that dominated the audience by giving a "Big-up to Godsmack -- I like your stuff." Not so much that they didn't bolt from the auditorium shortly after receiving their awards, thus missing the opportunity to watch Godsmack (recipient of Act of the Year) perform two singles, "Voodoo" and "Keep Away," which garnered them the honor of "most airplay of any current rock band."

As Adriana (Brydie Andrews '01) tries to reclaim her rightful husband, she takes the wrong Antipholus and...well...ahem. When the visiting Antipholus meets Adriana's sister Luciana (Randi Zuckerberg '03), there's enough chemistry between them to start a pharamcuticals coroporation. Their "This...
...played by Susan Long '02, shares two of the most enjoyable comic duets of the show, "What Can You Do with a Man?" and "He and She." Her earthy sexuality is a delightful contrast to her husband's submissive neurosis. As Tallevi pines for his lost "Big Brother" in Act Two, he establishes their finest moment, the Twins' Dance ballet...
...bigger balancing act," argues Dickerson, could come between principle and respecting states' rights. "Bush likes to argue that one of the failures of America in the 1960s was that people in power didn't stand up and say the moral decay of the country was wrong. He's therefore long held that it's the responsibility of leaders to speak out against moral wrongs. So there seems to be a contradiction between his saying leaders should stand up for what's right and not taking a stance on the flag issue. This could certainly hurt him with African-American voters...
