...that his country-rock roots have kept him from completely embracing. The album’s devastatingly open about why he and the genre just can’t work it out: Adams cruelly points out its flaws, viciously satirizing a ton of rock music.Just look at the track list. “This Is It,” “Wish You Were Here,” “She’s Lost Total Control”: if those song titles don’t sound strangely familiar, then you don’t listen...

Right-wing former president Arnoldo Alem?n and ex-communist guerrilla leader Henry "Modesto" Ruiz are both on the client list. His Eminence, Cardinal Miguel Obando y Bravo, the country's top religious authority, has been getting the same haircut here for 30 years. Managua's Sandinista Mayor, Nicho Marenco, comes in for a trim every month, as do the publishers of the two leading opposition dailies, and a flurry...
