...deal, contains the bluegrass-y tracks the Chicks wrote on their sabbatical. The familiar story line--no record-company supervision equals more artistic freedom--turns out to be true and a mixed blessing. The first single, Long Time Gone, is a floorboard stomper about the passage of time; White Trash Wedding ("I shouldn't be wearing white, and you can't afford no ring") is a two-minute humor hurricane, and the two Patty Griffin-penned songs (Truth No. 2 and Top of the World) show the Chicks can do melancholy credibly.

(Friedman, who oddly gets no mention in "A clean BREAST!", was a mirror Meyer: an inspired huckster with a gift for literary bombast. His memoir "A Youth in Babylon: Confessions of a Trash-Film King" is a marvel of evocative high-comic writing. And stay tuned for the sequel!) So Meyer, deciding it was "time to bust out of the industrial film format," concocted a black-and-white Bible-bustin' tract called "Lorna...
...idealized landscape is a big part of the reason why, on July 15, the Barnstable Department of Public Works dismantled six ramshackle homeless camps nestled in the woods of Hyannis, that most urban of Barnstable’s seven villages.
