...traded fame for love / Without a second thought / It all became a silly game / Some things cannot be bought." Madonna, the most revered and reviled woman in the world, is confessing. Gone are the public displays of her kinky fantasies, her forays into exasperating bubble-gum pop and her saturation of every media channel available. Suddenly, we must accept that our whining, petulant Material Girl has evolved once more. Call the new Madonna "Ethereal Girl." Yes, all the rumors are more than true. Her new album, Ray of Light, pulls off the seemingly impossible. Madonna--our symbol of superficiality...
...didn't check out some of the St. Patty's Day celebration. Just for starters, Ireland's most mainstream and highly-acclaimed traditional music group The Chieftans will be performing at Symphony Hall tonight. On the theatre front, look for Pulitzer winner Frank McCourt (of Angela's Ashes fame) and his hit play The Irish...

Better known for its pizza than for its traditional seaworthy fame, Mystic is still a favorite destination. Located along the southeastern coast of Connecticut, the town is as enticing as its name. Even if you didn't like the Julia Roberts movie, don't write Mystic off your list. It's ships galore, but you need not be a sailor to enjoy the maritime paradise. Mystic Seaport, the nation's largest maritime museum (and commonly mistaken name for the town) is a perfect introduction to the 18th and 19th century shipping port. If you prefer sealife to seaware, visit...
