Pop culture in June 1988: let’s get into it! What Now serves up Weird Al (kind of), newlyweds “Leonard” Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, and beach book recommendations. The reviews introduce you to Feargal Sharkey, Toni Childs, Little Nikita, and the now months-old Beetlejuice. WAS George Newbern One To Watch? Your panel is divided! And we get not one, not two, but THREE features: profiles of Ziggy Marley and Jason Gedrick, and an essay on whether your celebrity boy crushes make the real-life boys in your life feel bad. Turn off that new Stacey Q album and listen to us instead!
