...says Clinton's longtime friend Carolyn Staley. That is largely because the President-elect knows that Lindsey will never change: that he will always wear khaki pants and a navy blazer, that he will always have the latest political biography on his shelf, that he can sing along to Heartbreak Hotel and play hearts with Clinton until the candidate comes down from his political high and goes to sleep, and that he won't take himself too seriously. "You know what the worst thing about winning is?" Lindsey recently asked a friend. "You have to shave on Saturday...
...CATCH IN TAMMY WYNETTE'S VOICE sounds like a heartbreak that's become a habit. For 25 years, Wynette has been one of country music's best habits. The 67-song CD set Tears of Fire offers a lot of fine down-home hits (Stand By Your Man, We're Not the Jet Set) and a little social history, so often does Wynette sing about the soul-scarred Southern woman.

...make a living with his tenor sax. Sure, it took guts to play on The Arsenio Hall Show, and sure, he looked cool in those shades. As a musician, however, he was in way over his head. Of the two numbers he played, Clinton seemed more at home on Heartbreak Hotel; his growly sound suited the rhythm-and-blues genre, though his attacks were sloppy. Billie Holiday's ballad God Bless the Child was a mess. Clinton's phrasing was unsure, his tone thin, his melodic lines disintegrated into meaningless trills. But the audience loved it -- and maybe they were...
