Thompson is one of the few guitarists in popular music who dares to use leaps of dissonance in his soloes: often you'll here bits of the blues, Celtic folk, heavy metal, and even classical stylings woven into the same song. Sometimes, in the overextended jam. "Country", for example, this variety can lack focus, but the results are always interesting--if not always ultimately satisfying...

If they need a handle, call this...
...presented to American Ambassador Averell Harriman by the Soviets in 1945 and displayed by Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. at the U.N. in 1960. * Some time after the U.S. moved into its Moscow embassy quarters in 1953, security officials found telephone bugs encased in bamboo, making them impervious to the metal detectors. In 1956 it was the Soviets' turn to expose electronic treachery, when they discovered an underground telephone- wiretapping center in East Berlin at the end of a tunnel leading to the West...
