Their current hit, "Taillights Fade," got the crowd pensive. Janovitz's guitars, Chris Colbourn's bass and Tom Maginnis's drums slowly rework the same few chords while Janovitz pleads to his ex-girlfriend that he'll get over her rejection. It's the same old story, but his raspy voice sounds triumphant in lines like "I've hit the wall, I'm about to fall...Watch my taillights fade to black."

The local Democrats had done their part -- a crowd of nearly 1,000 had been waiting for several hours to gambol in the limelight. Gore, fast becoming the Ed McMahon of political warm-up acts, gave his patter- perfect introduction, complete with the mawkish reminder that Clinton's father died three months before Clinton was born.
