Streetchoir's material comes mostly from Gil Moses, the leader: once a playwright, his songs frequently conceal complex and sensitive lyrics beneath tense, often loud, always fascinating arrangements. Ranging from blues ballads to wistful humor, his songs hit a kind of rightness, a truth not often found in lyrics. In Endless Dialogue, Streetchoir's bitterest, best ballad, a verse runs...

Having returned to the U.S. to attend the funeral of his 81-year-old mother in Columbia, S.C., he flew up to Washington to confer with the Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon. He was barely able to conceal his anger over the suggestion that U.S. forces were not being used at full efficiency. It seemed he was taking a bum rap so the President and McNamara could hold down the budget deficit and avert a bigger tax increase...
