...Zoloft” or “The HIV Song.” Ween has turned from pitching out pleasurable bunk and shrewd criticism to basically just compiling drivel. On a redeeming note, “La Cucaracha” does emphasize the musical prowess of this tireless group of oddballs. Though their foray into reggae in “The Fruit Man” is somewhat drab, they show themselves as masterful mimics of the country music style in “Learnin’ to Love” and channel such artists as Cher, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie...

That gave the general, who came to power in 1999 in a bloodless coup and still holds the title of army...
Bhutto, however, has built her following based on a tireless campaign against army rule. Her discussions with Musharraf have earned her the ire of party faithful who say she has sold out in order to save her own skin. "She's making a deal with a dictator," says Ali Nazar Shah, a schoolteacher from Larkana. Bhutto is aware of these allegations, but says that for the sake of Pakistan it is better to be practical.
