...call anybody to book, start with himself. What should matter to him is not material gain but his recognition of his own self-image and the extent to which his actions reflect it. Inward success is a source of permanent and absolute power, independent of external factors; outward success fluctuates in response to changing circumstances...
...grow safe in his inner consolation, lapsing into passive acceptance of the evils of the outside world. Critics like Coffin tend to see the resurgence of Evangelicalism as one more sign of a self-preoccupied and self-serving national swing toward conservatism in general. The argument is that the outward-looking reformist '60s have regressed into the selfish '70s. The charge has some merit. But there is also much to the Evangelical theory that a man must dramatically change his life and values before he can begin to affect things around him. "We want to change the world," says Manhattan...
...sometimes an infant's chromosomal sex will not match its outward appearance. There are, for example, people with a female XX chromosome makeup who display pronounced male sexual development.

In the first few weeks after conception, when the embryo is still sexually neutral, the signal causes the development of testes, a source of male hormones. In the case of the XX males, however, the male factor, apparently consisting...
...forward in that half-aggressive pigeon-toed stance so dear to the hearts of '50s rockers; his eyes are genuinely loony, wild and dangerous-looking, behind huge Buddy Holly horn-rims.

Musically, too, the album has more than its share of outward cliches, from Phil Spectorish drum riffs to high-school rhythm guitar licks and doo-sop backing vocals...
...Parker, like all of whom he sounds; to the r&b revivalists, of whom he is certainly one; to the punks, of whom he is not. The comparisons will be made, but they will be unfair. They'll be easy handles for people who will be scared away by outward appearances and won't recognize this album for what it is--vibrant and really original rock and roll in a classic mold from a musician whose strong suit is his distrust of people and their ability to judge. What makes this album so different and so good is that Costello...
