Presence--Led Zeppelin, Swan Song. Instead of buying this album, take a handful of reds, turn the bass knob on your stereo all the way up, and call me in the morning...
Spring is usually a time of heightened activity along the Hudson River, as fishermen turn out in force to share in its bounty. But this year is different. New York State authorities have already closed the river to commercial fishing for striped bass, eels and several other species. Now, fish and game officials fear they may also have to forbid fishing for the roe-laden shad that are just making their appearance in the Hudson. Reason: the river is polluted with a particularly persistent and dangerous class of chemical compounds called polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. Worse, despite remedial action...
...rivers by drainage from junked electrical equipment. In few places were PCB levels higher than in the Hudson, where GE's two capacitor plants had been dumping them at the rate of about 30 lbs. per day since the early 1950s. In tests conducted last summer, striped bass, carp and other fish species were found to contain many times the allowed federal limit of 5 parts of PCBs per million. One eel was found to have 559.25 parts per million of the chemical-an amount so high that an adult who ate a 7 oz. portion would...
...reminisce about his old movies. (His problems have to do with what he does when he is on the political job.) Hubert Humphrey, by many measures, is at his best when he is in Waverly, Minn., reading and musing about the country's past or trolling for bass in the evening calm.

He cannot do that...
Progressive country music is marked by a strong rhythm section, especially a driving bass line more rock-and-roll than country. It generally features a prominent lead electric guitar--a distinct break from the older country tradition where the guitar work often consisted of two guys thumping away on six-string acoustics, both playing rhythm. Progressive country is also characterized by its willingness to use the keyboard instruments scorned by older country music. The movement owes its origins to the music of Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams, with a more than perfunctory nod in the direction of Bob Wills...
