...hottest current issue is how to handle Alaska's North Slope oil. Washington's four major refineries are located on the eastern shore of Puget Sound at Cherry Point, 100 miles north of Seattle and 75 miles inland from the sea.

But below that surface, the act is as tight as a bear hug, and even the simplest shtik has flip-side gags within gags...
Daltrey's hottest cuts on the album are "Say it Ain't So, Joe" and "Avenging Annie" (in that order). "Satin and Lace," "Doing It All Again," "Parade," and "One of the Boys" are all solid cuts. Daltrey co-authored only two of the album's ten songs...
