...television. Did Mike Deaver come out of retirement (and change political parties) to coach Al and Tipper? "Think Hyannisport, 1960 - think Kennedys!" Gore gets credit for the best cynical JFK imitation since 1988, when Gary Hart would descend from his campaign plane with one hand thrust in his jacket pocket, thumb protruding, à la Jack, and walk gingerly across the tarmac, as if he had injured his back while swimming away from the wreckage of a PT boat...

A woman in an Empire dress and plumed hat displays her nipple rings and Warhol himself appears in a triple portrait. The question is, are Gilje's drawings anything more than amusing...
...even with his new, more subtle and consistent, songs, Yoakam-decked out as always in his trademark '50s-style embroidered jacket, skin-tight faded jeans, cowboy boys and cowboy hat-still offers a maverick interpretation of country music that pushes the genre to evolve beyond its established heritage.
