...sang about the Wabash Cannonball. Minnie Pearl taught him square dancin'. Johnny Cash gave the Ambassador his own guitar. Glamorous Barbara Mandrell did an impromptu duet with the envoy on banjo. Chai toasted mutual friendship, but he sashayed a diplomatic do-si-do around the hope behind the hoedown: whether and when his hosts can export American min ge to China...
...Tusk continues the tradition of the predictable Fleetwood Mac song--strong, throbbing percussion, acoustic guitar, and lyrics often unintelligable and always accompanied by lots of "oooh-waahs" or "sha-la-las".
