In the Heart of the Wood See Thursday. 8 p.m. By Lise Harwin Daily Music Editor At least we can say one good thing about 1996, the year of musician overdoses, arrests and rehab: Hootie and the Blowfish's "Fairweather Johnson" was a flop. No more will the endless cries of"I Only Wanna Be With You," fill our ears ... instead we can rejoice in the new albums from Silverchair and Bush. Our excitement should be uncontrollable. With the new year came a continuation of the drug over- dose trend that had already claimed the life of Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon. This year, similar overdoses claimed Brad Nowell of Sublime and Smashing Pumpkins' tour keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin. Guess those boys from Trainspotting were on the right track. If not death, arrest was another frequent' '96 occurrence. Pumpkins' drummer Jimmy ~. Chamberlain was arrested for heroin posses- sion and fired from the band, Liam Gallagher of Oasis was busted for cocaine (though the charges have recently been dropped) and Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland, arrested in the past for Msic heroin possession and thrown in rehab, has recently canceled his tour in order to, once again, check himself in. After a somewhat suspicious shooting, questions have been raised as to whether Tupac Shakur is really dead. Instead, lis- teners should really be asking themselves if society is better off without a man who was a skilled rapper and actor, while still a misogynistic, gun-toting, convicted criminal. In more pleasant news, after Pulp's Jarvis Cocker antago- nized Michael Jackson on stage at the Music Awards, Jackson, perhaps feeling that his masculinity had been affronted, decided to get married ... again. Though Elvis was remaining is: When will Lourdes be fitted for one of those pointy bullet bras that her mother wears with such gusto? This year's top-selling album was "Jagged Little Pill" by Alanis Morrisette, a former Debbie Gibson-like Canadian teeny-bopper. Though Gibson has gone on to perform in Les Miserables, Alanis is still struggling to appropriately use the word "ironic" in a sentence. We can only hope that her sec- ond album will follow in the footsteps of Hootie. Beck, the alternative golden boy, received top honors for See MUSIC 1996, Page 78 certain to be rolling in his grave after M.J's marriage to his precious Lisa Marie, the real King can now sleep comfortably knowing that Jackson has moved on to a nurse who was rumored to be artificially inseminated with his child. At least Michael Jackson will now have his own kid to play with. The man who has changed his name from Prince to an unpronounceable symbol (written as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince) has finally settled upon being called mere- ly The Artist. But, it's still unknown as to whether he'll revise his symbol to fit his shorter name. While The Artist did man- age to wed this year (she pointed at her symbol . _.; ,.. necklace as opposed to saying his name), sadly, their first child did not survive. We can only wait for future offspring to arrive so that we may hear the titles bestowed by the Purple One. Now that should be interesting. Those who thought "Sex" would be the crowning accomplishment for the Material Girl were right. Though it was not an immac- ulate conception (the father is Madonna's per- sonal trainer), Madonna is now the proud mother of Lourdes Maria Ciccone.
