...will more likely find the listener simply waiting for the album to end. Once it finally does, it’s so forgettable that it’s hard to even remember what made the disc so terrible.

What was he down - in the House of Representatives - the Democrat margin then was what, 130 seats or something? And [the Republicans] were led by a guy named Bob Michel, whose objective every day was to make sure he was invited to play golf with Democratic leaders.
