...attention of Washington at the highest levels of presidential ambition. Al Gore gave the entertainment companies six months to shape up their marketing practices or face unspecified retaliation from Washington. The Senate Commerce Committee, chaired by John McCain, held a hearing to examine the FTC conclusions. Senate colleague Joe Lieberman showed up to express his and Gore's distress. Dick Cheney's wife Lynne, former head of the National Endowment for the Humanities, arrived to cite Eminem as proof that the problem is not just how the entertainment companies sell. "There is a problem with the products," she noted...

Fusion Music After the curtain went down three hours later, the Gore-Lieberman ticket plus wives and Hillary Clinton trooped onstage to thank the performers. Gore's final words summarized the mood. He exulted that he was touched by having some of the finest performers of his generation performing in honor of the ticket. The fusion between candidates, performers and supporters was complete. The '60s generation is now in sole charge. Now the electorate must decide which side was in the right in that long-ago revolutionary war, and whether it wants to be led by the people our parents...
