...croak with wah-wah and a baritone sax enters the mix. “People’s Party (Red Alert)” starts to layer the horns over a groovy, yet still camp bassline. One has to admire the talent of the Money man: Although he does recruit various friends on drums and suchlike (including Sean Lennon on electric bass), almost everything is played by himself, from flute to nylon guitar.

"If you don't have the right culture, all the things you do to recruit won't help you a bit." Continental's hubs are home to large Latino populations, and the company gets 15% of its revenues from Latin and Caribbean countries. Hispanics now make up 20% of Continental's work force...
