...similar limited mileage out of Tommy James and the Shondells' "Mony Mony." Then there are two original throuwaway songs, and then last year's Gen X hit "Dancing With Myself". Four tunes. Hey, you only have to pay $4.50 for this. What a deal. Give me a throbbing bass drum, a digital recording studio, and I'll go re-record the theme from the Banana Splits...
...record is a triumph for the Rumour; they play "Cool Down Boy" and "35 Millimeter Dreams" much better than they were ever written. Brinsley Schwarz and Martin Belmont's flawless, flowing guitars and Steve Goulding's syncopated drum riffs make everything fun to listen to. But some vocals mark a step back for Jeffreys.

Fraser tried to drum up support for the protest: "There is little for workers to celebrate on this Labor Day. It is indeed the worse year for labor in over five decades...
...mailing last spring to drum up money and support for Reagan's budget cuts, Helms wrote that "liberal pressure groups are at work, organizing to flood Congress with mail demanding that liberal food stamp and welfare giveaways not be cut. Sadly, this pressure, if not offset, could be successful." The effort to stop the ultraliberals, the mailings usually suggest, arises because "the Lord may very well be giving us one last chance to save America." The letters typically end: "God bless you always. Sincerely, Jesse...
