...employed 14,000,000 pounds of tear gas in Vietnam. he said, and has defoliated an area the size of Massachusetts with anti-plant chemicals used in "environmental warfare...

Their signature blend of innuendo, vaguely arrogant virtuosity, and exhilarating braggadocio return home with unexpected lightness as the harmonica quietly arrests the song with a sarcastic but still good-natured...
