Defensive Player of the Week went to Columbia linebacker Des "Boom Boom" Werthman for the second week in a row. Werthman recorded 16 tackles (12 solo), recovered a fumble and returned a blocked punt 24 yards...
Gearhardt's soulful guitar and his occasional use of a slide added a depth that Guthrie's solo performance sometimes lacked...
KEITH RICHARDS, THAT OLD DEVIL Stone, has for so long been rock's paradigm of advanced dissipation that it comes as a surprise to hear him here, on his second solo album, in a mood that veers dangerously close to relaxed.

The songs here, happily, avoid the worst of the excess; the pleasantly catchy "An Elegant Chaos" captures the flavor of the period, and "Sunspots," Iyrically a doodle, is worth listening to if only...
