...People our generation and younger have grown up with a rock music attitude surrounding us," O'Hara says. "That means we share a rebelliousness and a willingness to take some chances." Those chances, even when they are as respectful as Travis' or as roughhouse as Steve Earle's, are already paying handsome dividends. There's new times in country at last. And good times...
...choosing Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen to share space on his campaign button, Dukakis took a deeply calculated risk, an atypical gamble.

It did, however, give Bentsen a bit more caution, which is the one trait he seems to share with the man who chose him to run for Vice President...
