■When the entire bubble-gum
X)j > phenomenon resurfaced last
/ear with the Backstreet Boys/’N
)ync/98 Degrees clones, flashbacks
:o the New Kids on the Block were
nevitable.
■Many thought that after the
Dbligatory two albums, these new
‘musicians” would fade away.
■Then some idiot decided to res-
Bect the New Kids members and
tience Jordan Knight was thawed
from his cryogenic freeze and
handed two big-name producers to
make an album.
■ Surprisingly, the album isn’t
half-bad, but that doesn’t make it
half-good either.
■ The current single from the al-
bu n, “Give it to You,” is a fun
piece of pop drivel that is appreci
ated and forgotten in the same
breath.
H Knight’s limited talent works
\best in the ballads that pepper the
album such as “1 Could Never Take
the Place of Your Man,” a track
penned by Prince.
B A semi-precious gem is “Close
My Eyes,” which samples Kansas’
“Dust in the Wind” and satisfacto
rily uses Knight’s breathy delivery.

Red Hot Chili
Peppers
Cali fornication
CD Courtesy of Warner Bros.
In the early days of alternative
music, the funk-rock of Red Hot
Chili Peppers sold multi-platinum
albums. Now the aging rock stars
have to keep up with a different
market dominated by pop groups
such as Matchbox 20, The Back-
street Boys and the Spice Girls. The
Chili Peppers deal with modern
pop trends by going back to their
original and creative style.
Their new album, Califomica-
tion, is every bit as good as their
1994 hit album Blood Sugar Sex
Magik, maybe because old guitarist
John Frusciante is back on board
after battling his heroin addiction.
The difference in style between
this album and the last is evident.
One Hot Minute was a dark and
somber album that departed from
the usual Chili Peppers’ style, while
Califomication is more like earlier
Chili Peppers albums.
While singer Anthony Kiedis
does an excellent job vocally, his
writing needs a lot of work. Most
songs follow a California theme
similar to that of Hole’s recent al
bum, Celebrity Skin.
Califomication shows age has
only ripened the Chili Pepper’s
style. (Grade: A-)

Roger Creager
Having Fun All Wrong
Roger Creager might be having
fun all wrong with his latest re
lease, but he is making music in
the right way.
This album might be just what
Creager needs to propel his music
career into high gear.
Whether it is his songs about
loving and drinking or his mellow
singing voice, his musical style
can be compared to Texas song
writer Robert Earl Keen.
Creager’s songs “1 Can Too,”
“Until The Thought of You” and
“Feel Again” display his songwrit
ing abilities, but by far the best
track on the album is “Fun All
Wrong.”
This song is what all songwrit
ers dream about.
It has everything a great song
about Texas needs — lyrics listen
ers can identify with, catchy mu
sic and enjoyable vocals.
• This song has the ability to be
come the summer anthem for
many beer-drinking Texans who
like watching the sun set and en
joying the simple things in life.
This album is a welcome mat
for anybody who loves to say they
were listening to an artist before
they hit it big. (Grade: B)

Russian poet’s
birthday celebrated
NEW YORK (AP) — Russian poet
Yevgeny Yevtushenko paid tribute to
his country’s greatest poet, Alexan
der Pushkin, on his 200th birthday,
calling him a model for Russia in the
21st century.
“Pushkin gave us two centuries
ago an example of how you can be
brought up on Russian culture and
be a lover of the best of Western cul
ture,” Yevtushenko said Sunday. “He
was a model for the 21st century’s
Russian man.”
Yevtushenko appeared at the New
York preview of “The Feast During the
Plague,” Pushkin’s tragedy set to
music by Russian composer Sergei
Dresnin.
“This is a masterpiece,” Yev
tushenko said after the show.
Governors trade
jibes at conference
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Gov. Jesse
Ventura and North Dakota Gov. Ed
Schafer engaged in a lighthearted
border war Monday over who might
best whom in a physical matchup.
Ventura started it when he told
Schafer he appreciated his courage
in coming to an agriculture confer-
PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
ence in Minnesota despite the preva
lence of bumper stickers boasting
about the former wrestler’s ability to
beat up other governors.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to beat
you up today,” Ventura said. “It only
means I could if I wanted to.”
Schafer, a runner, noted that his
marathon time comes in very re
spectably under three hours.
“If you’re going to get me in the
ring, it will be after a good long run,”
Schafer told Ventura.
Kasparov to play
Internet match
SEATTLE (AP) — World chess
champion Garry Kasparov is taking
on the Internet.
Kasparov has cut a deal with Mi
crosoft to play a match this summer
against a “world team” made up of
anyone who comes to a Microsoft In
ternet site and votes for suggested
moves against the Russian grand
master.
The world team will be guided by
five young chess experts, who will
suggest possible moves and tactics.
Kasparov will make the opening
move, and visitors to the site will be
given 24 hours to vote for a coun
termove. Kasparov will reply with a
move 24 hours later, and so on.
Judge overturns
Lewinsky ruling
LEWINSKY
MIAMI (AP) — As George R.
Berry figured it, Monica Lewinsky
owed him more
than $40 million
for the tax money
spent to investi
gate the former
White House in
tern’s liaison with
President Clinton.
But Chief U.S.
District Judge Ed
ward B. Davis
ruled Monday that Lewinsky does
n’t owe Berry a dime.
Berry, 59, sued Lewinsky last
year on grounds that she used sex
to extort the president to get a
good job and become famous.
He sought $100,000 for his
personal tax dollars spent on the
investigation into Clinton’s con
duct and $40 million in punitive
damages.
In his ruling, the judge said
Berry couldn’t sue the former in
tern in Florida since she had no
dealings in the state. Lewinsky’s
local lawyer, Walter J. Tache, had
asked for the decision.
“This was not legally valid,” he
said.
Smell
Continued from Paged
The next day, they are subjected to breath and
lung tests, spit measurements via “the drooling
method” and armpit-scraping cultures.
Other scientists at Monell have aimed their re
search at everything from perfume-preference test
ing to how cigarette smoking affects mother’s milk.
In a recent study, scientist Julie Mennella moni
tored infants after they had been exposed to alcohol
in their mothers’ milk. She found that babies who
drink alcohol-flavored milk might fall asleep faster
but sleep for a shorter length of time.
For pediatricians and their patients, findings like
these are enlightening.
“Folklore often captures much that is true and
good, but observations such as this remind us that it
is important to put these verities to the test,” Ronald
G. Barr of the Child Development Programme at the
Montreal Children’s Hospital said.
Even students at the nearby University of Pennsyl
vania have unknowingly become part of Monell’s ex
periments.
To test attitudes toward novel foods, scientists al
tered the cafeteria menu one afternoon by noting that
two kinds of milk were being served: cow’s milk and
marsupial milk. Students preferred what they thought
was the cow’s milk, even though the “marsupial” milk
was actually cow’s milk as well.
More than 50 companies in the fragrance, food,
pharmaceutical and household product industries, in
cluding Colgate-Palmolive and Campbell Soup, provide
funding to the center and benefit from the research.
Their projects test, for example, which fragrance
people like best in deodorants and which food flavors
are popular.
Scientist Charles Wysocki said that after 20 years of
doing smell experiments, he has even come to like
odors that most people find offensive. “I actually like
the smell of skunk now,” Wysocki said.
