...means, even at his bleary end, of temporary transcendence. And the music had been compromised, so stunted that his soul just shut down. Maybe part of his heart died when Gladys passed, or maybe he just lost heart. But his life also started to drift as the music spun out of control. His manager, Colonel Tom Parker, had wrapped him so tight in a skein of interwoven business and publishing deals that he had little creative room to move. "We're caught in a trap," he sings with devastating intensity in Suspicious Minds, one of the great tunes...
Conversely, his adagio was more of an allegretto and here he may have been a little too playful. Ohlsson spun out long melodic lines, though his pedalling was admirably spare; and though the rhythm of the variations changed in predictable ways, his phrasing was never predictable...
...fact, though the Cardigans spun webs of retro romantic pop on their previous albums, this hard core was always there, beneath the sweet melodies; both Peter Svensson, lead guitarist and songwriter, and Sveningsson played in heavy metal bands before forming the Cardigans. Sveningsson explained: "We wanted to become a pop band; [Peter and I] played in individual hard rock bands back in the '80s. We met because we needed someone new to play with.

...other hand, Hyde's list could easily be spun as a highly partisan attempt to embarrass the President, if not a verbal witch hunt. As aides may point out, Clinton has already answered many of the questions in his last two depositions. Some of them go beyond the scope of Starr?s report -- to ask about White House gumshoe Terry Lezner, for example. The list is highly repetitious -- some might say petty -- and contains mistakes that would shame a county lawyer. "Do you admit or deny that on or about Dec. 28, 1998 ?" begins one query. Nevertheless, it would...
