...former teen mom, Rodriguez felt the reality of the up close and personal view of these mother’s lives reminded her of how she “went around numb,” so ashamed that the first person she told she was pregnant was her doctor in the delivery room...
...Mount, the most sensitive piece of real estate in Jerusalem, was designed to challenge Barak's right to negotiate over its future. The action provoked young Palestinians into a series of riots that resulted in fatalities, and seven years of frustration among Arafat's base reached a boiling point.

There's an exuberant dance cover of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb that sounds like New Order fronted by Andy Gibb. Tits on the Radio is a disco-funk rant about the cultural sterilization of New York City. What keeps the whole thing from turning into an orgy of deja vu is Shears. As he struts his way through the material, he radiates a completely original kind of magnetism. He's sexual, commanding and totally goofy--like a man who can't believe his hairbrush and mirror...
