...Taylor warns that to succeed in the U.S., they too have to be willing to "refine" their sound. But that's just show business. If island artists can stand a little assimilation, they may find that what started off as a "Woof! Woof!" could grow to a communal commercial roar...
This goes beyond the mere fact that the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers have been dissolved into one blue-and-orange unit, playing on the outskirts of Queens beneath the deafening roar of airplanes leaving LaGuardia Airport.

...whole nation seemed to roar back. With that greeting, the 56-year-old former law professor did more than herald the regime's demise.
