I went to church to become Michael Jackson
Article Abstract:
Singer Lenny Kravitz felt strongly attracted to music from an early age. His conviction that he wanted to make music his career made him find his school years very frustrating. His life became dominated by rules when he joined the California Boys Choir, but his time with this choir aroused his interest in touring and recording. He feels that he has ignored many elements of his life because of his intense focus on music, but that music has also allowed him to express himself.

A boys' own story
Article Abstract:
New men's general interest magazines such as Esquire and Loaded have had a significant impact on the men's magazine sector in the UK, where there were previously only pornographic publications or ones about particular hobbies. These magazines have taken on the role of a friend to many men, offering advice on a wide range of issues and covering many different interests. They are also not ashamed to admit than men can sometimes feel vulnerable.

Stand by your woman
Article Abstract:
Female artists are at the forefront of the current revival in country music. Female acts now account for 50% of the Billboard country charts, and female artists have become much less submissive. Mindy McCready, for example, is determined to look after herself and to avoid being forced into an image that does not suit her. The fact that a Nashville record company, Asylum, has a woman president, Evelyn Shriver, is also significant.
