Eros Ramazzotti released some singles from his "Eros" compilation, and those were the days when I was still very enthusiastic about his music. "Musica E" (with a reversed accent there) was sang by Eros himself and the opera and pop singer Andrea Bocelli (a man, despite his female name), an long opus with many changes and very opera-like, one of the bmost brilliant moments of Eros career so far, and if not brilliant, at least one of his most surprising moments. Debuting also, the teenage pop sensation 'N Sync, with their first single. I remember that during these times, people at college used to think I knew much about music (good feeling, but I know more now than then) so it was me who first introduced them to this group. Today, everybody knows who they are, and of course, as with many pop idols, one of their members (Justin Timberlake) became a star, and has had a lot of undeserved praise, cause well, i think his music is shit and it's amazing how many people are fooled into thinking he's the hottest thing right now... yeah, I vented. And finally, another double song entered the chart, this time it was REM with their single "Daysleeper", that I coupled with "Why Not Smile" a wonderful song that even when it was on the album, it was also included on the single, so yeah, that was it, beautiful songs.
