...players claim they lack when in reality they just hadn’t prepared well enough, mentally or physically, or just flat-out lacked the talent or initiative to seize the win. Maybe “IT” could come in a bottle—made with 100% pure “Intensity”—and the annoyingly passive Allan Houston could uncap it before games, take a swig and score 27 a night like he should...

...only be described as guttural muttering. The technique is featured prominently on the album’s first single, the ridiculously titled “I’m a Slave 4 U.” Even her most ardent fans would concede that she is worthless as a pure vocalist, but bad vocalists can still be effective singers: witness Bob Dylan.

...When a pure-blooded cowboy is willing to come to the East Coast, there’s got to be a darn good reason. A sprinkling of people from the real, genuine West have found the long journey to Johnston Gate worthwhile, if slightly jarring, bringing their roots with them in symbolic ways and counting the days until they can return to the land where the skies are uncloudy...
