Several other pieces, such as “She Rode Me Down,” follow in the title track’s motley footsteps. Sharp winds and crashes of a thunderstorm give way to flamenco guitar strumming and maracas, mixing with the quirky tinkle of a glockenspiel, hand claps and a spirited jazz flute. The somber growling of a cello intimates the lyrics Staples croons (“She rode me like a storm / Like a soaking brooding storm”), while the clear, brassy peals of the horn section end the track on a vigorous note.

...Mark Foo, wiped out in an 18-footer and drowned, presumably snagged in the rock-filled cauldron. One of this year's contestants, Darryl (The Flea) Virostko (who, friends say, once surfed Mavericks while tripping on LSD) is credited with undergoing the most spectacular wipeout ever filmed when he rode an 80-ft. wave there.

As the White House shifts its top legislative priority from health care reform to financial reform, it is hoping to avoid the mistakes...
...Stand for a few big things. Obama rode to his party's nomination as the anti-Clinton and won the general election as the anti-Bush without ever having to define his political persona. Reagan's policies didn't always live up to his mantra (lower taxes, stronger defense, family values), but he was able to fit most of his major initiatives and high-profile events under that simple tripartite rubric...
