...pick up the holograms in credit cards, leading to a sort of disrobing delay as, one at a time, people remove jewelry, rings, even security passes, whose metal clip sets off the alarms, while cameras and bags are xrayed and hand-checked. Since some local scalpers have color-xeroxed fake passes, the guards also must feel the passes to check the paper quality.

There is a hint of girlishness in the choice of some lightweight material on the album (MCG/ Curb), and her singing sometimes is closer to the full-throttle glottal attack of Brenda Lee, a precocious stylist of the Cline years, than to Patsy herself.
