...though. “Heavy Crown” may musically be similar to the rest of the album, but the lyrics reveal Pollard truly opening up to his listeners in a way he rarely has done before. As he sings “I am a high roller / I wear a heavy crown,” we finally get a glimpse of the man himself. He may still be swigging Miller Lite and pumping out simple yet deceptively intelligent guitar rock, but he is also capable of letting us inside his head and even appearing slightly vulnerable.One can only hope...
...This week's new spate of color-coded dissent underlines not only the political instability that has marked Thai politics for several years now but also the tricky task of what to wear in Bangkok. Thailand is a country obsessed by color scheme. In Bangkok, the hues people wear can indicate everything from their political leanings to the days on which they were born.

...hijacking of red and yellow by political groups has forced some Thais to give up wearing both colors, lest they be erroneously placed in one of the two political camps. The number of people who would normally wear yellow on Mondays to honor the King has dropped considerably, not because they respect the monarch any less, but because they don't want to be associated with the PAD. Likewise, soccer-mad Thais who would usually wear red Arsenal or Manchester United jerseys have been forced to think twice about supporting their favorite sports team...
