...booze and broads? Williams then points the lyrics at himself, taking him to previously unexplored areas of introspection. In the gentle ballad “Make Me Pure,” he settles on his faults (“I got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones beneath this skin”), and, paraphrasing St. Augustine’s fabled exhortation, he pleads to the Lord to “make me pure, but not yet.” Backed up by a strumming guitar, Williams sounds like a British Tom Petty, minus that trademark Southern twang...

Meanwhile, youths attempted to set fire to their siblings beneath the 40-foot Pyramid of Pumpkins, a towering inferno of burning jackos that, had it fallen, would have taken out the lion’s share of the families in attendance. But the real nucleus of the festival was the “Carving Tent,” where children hacked...
