...James Joyce, but will (perhaps thankfully) find little to recognize in the food. Vacationers to Greece can impress their friends by expounding on the classical allusion that gives rise to the restaurant’s name, but the dishes are far too bland to call to mind Hellenic bliss. In an unexpected turn, the grumpy waiters—probably of this disposition as a result of the hordes upon hordes of underage boys in matching ties—will surely remind a wistful francophile of Paris’ famously unfriendly garçons.

...bass and keyboards in a way that the rest of the album lacks. “Five on the Five”—easily the album’s best track—stabs wildly with a soaring chorus that stomps feet and pumps fists into fuzzy bliss.

He told Ronald Coleman of Texas that the Democratic plan was "way out of line." Army Secretary John Marsh also called Coleman, subtly reminding the Congressman that Fort Bliss was in his district.

...minuet of compromises. It could also be that depicting the satisfaction of people over 30 just doesn't appeal to the audience demographic; the young may think that anyone who's settled for living with someone else is either miserable or deserves to be.
