S o, you’ve explored the
mall from end to end, seen
this summer’s best and
worst movies and The Dixie
Chicken has become the place
where everybody knows your
name. When summer in Bryan-
College Station has gone stale,
it may be time to hop in the car
and fake a road trip. Summer in
Texas is a time for fairs and fes
tivals, with something out there
for just about everyone.
The Tlexas Folklife Festival is
“the biggest and grandest and
most fun party Texas has,” said
Kirsten Watkins, public affairs
specialist for the Institute of
Texas Cultures. Held June 7-10
in San Antonio, it will feature live
music, ethnic foods, pioneer
crafts, dancing and storytelling.
This year’s theme is “Texas Au
thors,” and there will be a hook
signing that includes Kinky
Freidman, author of lexas-based
mysteries such as Greenwich
Killing Time. Festival tickets cost
$8 for adults, or$6 in advance.

Janet Jackson
All For You
Virgin Records
She gave us Control in this chaotic
world and she made us all dance in her
Rhythjn Nation. She introduced us to her
world by letting us cross the Velvet Rope.
We know her by one name: Janet. Now,
sexy Janet Jackson steps further out of
her brother’s shadow as she presents us
widi her eighth album, All For You.
The pop diva shows she has not lost
her touch by teaming up once again with
producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
The tide track, “All For You,” was the
first single. From her shy yet sultry chant
in the beginning, it builds up to a bass line
and dien the beat drops. All the beats on
die album, including this one, are stire to
make your head bob to the cadence and
shake your “thang” on the dance floor.
Janet tends to keep her style with every
album, yet she likes to add a twist to all of
her tracks. This is evident in “Someone to
Call My Lover.” The song begins smooth
with an acoustic guitar introduction and is
then mixed with a pop dance beat as she
sings of finding that special someone.
Janet also collaborates with rock leg
end Carly Simon on the track “Son of a
