...time when acts like 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys cavort in the upper reaches of the charts like kids atop a treehouse, a CD such as Taming the Tiger, whose title song was inspired by 18th century poet William Blake, is a tough sell--unless you're selling it to fans of 18th century English poetry.

He would bring up the money federal agents paid Pitts back then and would pronounce the government's main witness "bought and sold." And Arrington would revive old allegations that the FBI let Pitts cavort with a mysterious blond while he was in custody. "I got pictures of her in a car with Billy Roy," Arrington boasts.
