    I just got back from the performance in LA. All those who gave the album such a high score must have been smoking the ganja that was wafting up to The Shrine rafters. As a professional writer, I can honestly say I have never witnessed a more amateurish production in my many years on this earth. Completely laughable and amateurish.

    About the time an FBI agent shoots the heroine's cat, prior to a Hair-style love-in finale, you'll know you and Young have weathered his career low point together. [19 Sep 2003, p.86]
  3. It all adds up to a very good record -- one that is interesting, and one that satisfies musically.
