Introspection. It's not unusual to see artists turn their focus inward, creating music centered on the inner workings of their own minds.

Accept Keanu Reeves as your savior.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - As journeys go, it was a good one. It reached its intended destination, but was stopped just one game short of its ultimate goal Sunday night.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - As coach Gail Goestenkors tells the story, Duke's women's basketball players got the chance to set their own goal at the start of the season. The one they decided on was simple but lofty: a national championship.

OK, don't be alarmed, but for his self-titled fourth album, Tevin Campbell has indeed enlisted Stevie J. (of the Bad Boy camp) and Wyclef Jean for their production talents. Luckily, you won't find Puff Daddy or Wyclef ad-libbing in the background. Nor will you find the pervasive and often overbearing influence hip-hop has had on many of today's R&B artists.
For the Purdue Boilermakers, the postseason is all about the number one.
"Quick, honey! Come here and check out what that wacky King is doing!"

State center Summer Erb) and probable Player of the Year (Duke's own Michele VanGorp) are post players, it was the guards of the conference that stole the show.
CHARLOTTE - Heading into the ACC tournament, women's basketball coach Gail Goestenkors talked openly about how difficult it would be to beat any team three times in one season. After doing just that against Florida State Friday night, No. 1 seed Duke discovered one team it couldn't even beat twice.
It seems that bastion of investigative journalism, Inside Edition, is at it again. The TV tabloid's crack staff recently commissioned a study with Indiana University at Bloomington to determine exactly what was going on with WWF Raw, the USA network's weekly wrestling program and, nine weeks out of ten, the highest-rated show on cable.
