...summer in the Hamptons. The album opens with the stinging No Man's Land, a rant anthem to the area's cultural deforestation ("Give us this day our daily discount- outlet merchandise,/ Raise up a multiplex and we will pay the sacrifice"), and closes with Famous Last Words, a snapshot of a resort town after Labor Day ("Nothing left for a dreamer now,/ Only one final serenade"). With vocal vigor and melodies that evoke the Beatles, the Kinks or Blood, Sweat and Tears but are tweaked to sound fresh, the piano man sells angst and redemption to the bar crowd...

Shortly after Clinton's election, a reporter from the BBC called The Crimson. "I'm researching a spot on Boston, a snapshot of a city in the Clinton era," he told me. He wanted to hear from a Harvard student, and I met him the next day for an interview. With disclaimers about my Harvard-white-Jewish-left-of-center-journalist bias, I told him about our generation--the cynicism held over from Watergate, our tepid support for Clinton...
