...hook that seems to be making fun of the singer's romantic aspirations." "Our eyes first met across a crowded room"--and then the hook, and then "I knew we'd done to very different schools..." The compact "guitar also," when it comes, is a deliberately squeaky, pathos-filled echo of the triumphant 70s lust you'd be likely to find at the end of a Cheap Trick song, the Sugargliders' quiet aplomb here as everywhere on the album, sounds like the product of diminished expectations, sounds resigned and hopeful at the same time.

...year," the President recently told Rolling Stone, it's in ((the creation of)) prevention programs." Clinton needs to recall and act on his earlier words. If he doesn't, the latest war on crime will probably be no more successful than its predecessors, and some future presidential candidate will echo Clinton on Bush. What the President said as a candidate is true: you can't get serious about crime without getting serious about drugs...
