Also, I'm worried about where sports coverage at Harvard is going. Last week, an Indy writer referred to a Trinity squash player as having been "beaten like a red-headed stepchild." If this is what passes for sports journalism nowadays, count me out. Oh yes, and I'd like to spend more time with my family...
...came bop, the dizzying complexity of which (and the fact that you can't dance to it) allowed rock, via R&B, to become the popular music. Magnanimity, the crown-virtue of swing, yielded to rock's rebelliousness--which is not a virtue at all, but the weak, ugly stepchild of courage. Nowadays, the glorious mixed-regime-in-music has devolved into plain democracy-in-music: those concerned with musical excellence via jazz can still subsist (democracy is colorful, after all), but the regime is ruled by today's popular music, a low medley of anthems to equality...
Defining Boston art as more than a stepchild of the Manhattan scene is a difficult task, made all the more so for the fact that, in the recent past, regional essentialism hasn't characterized the art in any obvious way.

Gone are the slow, structured "I doubt I've worked off the calories in a stick of Carefree gum" workouts emphasizing a yoga-based spirituality, and in their place is the latest "it" exercise. Martial artist Billy Blanks created Tae-Bo, the fast-paced, super-sweaty stepchild of kickboxing. Popularized by a sleek advertising campaign heavy on late-night infomercials, and garnering the support of Carmen Electra and Sinbad, Tae-Bo now constitutes a veritable alterna-robics empire. Blanks himself is on the way to superstardom, having appeared on a recent episode of "ER" in which he schooled...
