...musical territory, Knox revels in cliched, annoying formulas slapped together to form a pastiche of generic major chord mayhem. YES!! does succeed in pushing limits--for instance, those of compact disc space capacity. Knox man-ages to pack more than 70 minutes of his special brand of grating, '80s-obsessed, painfully simplistic pop stylings onto a single disc...
...book jacket would suggest that by chronicling Larry Weller's life from 1977 to 1997, Shields has captured the essence of Man during each of these decades as well. Apart from one reference to hair length in the 70s, several references to unemployment in the 80s and 90s, and an incongruous, forced discussion of men in the 90s at the dinner party, time scarcely seems to pass at all.

Even today the trip takes eight mind-numbing hours by car. No wonder Garden City (pop. 24,072) and hundreds of other rural communities in western Kansas have had a tough time persuading physicians to come and set up a practice. In fact, more than half the state...
