...flag-waving, vote-hungry politicians. The foreign buyers, says Marcus Collins, a state representative in Georgia "come in here and pay $1,500, $1,800 or even $2,000 an acre for land that, even with inflation, should not cost more than $800." Iowa Congressman Tom Harkin warns that the oil-producing nations, which sold the U.S. $45 billion worth of petroleum last year, "could buy the whole state of Iowa, every acre of farm producing land, with just 394 days of oil production...

Aykroyd has one of his better harmonica solos, followed by some ringing guitar by veteran bluesman Matt "Guitar" Murphy...
...weak song on the rest of Side 1, either. "Messin' With the Kid" features some fine guitar work by Murphy and especially Steve Cropper, the legendary Memphis session man, producer, and mainstay of Booker T. and the MGs. Belushi smooths out his vocal delivery a bit in "Almost," and Tom Scott of the L.A. Express handles the sax break as the rest of the horn section punches away. Next comes Aykroyd's only solo number, a wonderfully obscure bit of nonsensical babbling called "Rubber Biscuit" which is, believe it or not, quite faithful to the original version. Murphy takes...
