Scruggs. The first time I saw Earl and Family was exactly four years ago, in back of a rural high school, right before the fireworks came on and sometime after the vegetable awards. It was the Wheatland! Sesquicentennial or Octo-something, a real celebration. People kept running up to the microphone and yelling "Let's hear it Three cheers for Whestland!" Meanwhile the local officer of the law--clearly the big man in town--was strolling around as everybody said hello Bill, he being an uncle or cousin to most of them.

...treatment. Then Harry put her on the ergometer machine, the erg, a contraption that measures the speed of your rowing. It looks like a medieval torture machine, and two minutes on it is like agony.

Musically it is a transition between the assertive, nihilistic Blonde on Blonde (1966) and the mystical John Wesley Harding (1968). The tunes on The Basement Tapes are pithy, dense and funny. There are bizarre, surreal lyrics like Million Dollar Bash and traditional...
...export sales without serious impact on home prices. Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz predicts that sales of grain to the Soviet Union will have only a minimum effect on American prices even if they reach 10 million tons, which he believes they will. One possible effect: meat prices will be kept from falling, because a general tightening of grain markets will hold feed costs high...
