That impression was reinforced during Taber's reporting for this week's story, which was written by George Church and edited by Marshall Loeb. The interview with Miller lasted four hours. "We'd planned on two," says Taber, "but we drifted onto everything from his wife's photography to his Coast Guard days in Shanghai. He was totally relaxed, and I understood better why Fed staffers are talking about a breath of fresh air." Like Miller, Taber picked up his economics on the fly.

On the title track, he sings that he has lost his money and his wife and doesn't care about much anymore. Sometimes this desperation is effective, especially what is perhaps the most moving song on the album, "Racing in the Streets."
