...beach. The playful guitar-laced ballads leave the listener with a smile and a jig in the step. And ultimately, that is what Mest wants to accomplish and does so with aplomb: mixing punk, ska and reggae with some interesting production values from John Feldmann (of Goldfinger fame) to make music fun again. B+ -Jimmy...
...capable of managing the stresses and strains of the notoriously fickle industry, and that to encourage young boys and girls to pursue pop-stardom on the road borders on child abuse. The early death of Patrick Waite from '80s pre-teen group Musical Youth (of "Pass the Dutchie" fame) is a prime example...
...money, the crme de la crme of this Hollywood clan--the Baldwin of Baldwins, if you will--is the eldest and most famous of the lot. This is Alec Baldwin, of course, whose fame as a thespian often leads us to forget that he is, first and foremost, a political philosopher.

The title track features Knopfler and guest James Taylor in a mock-up of a very awkward conversation between Mason and Dixon of Mason-Dixon line fame, but the song holds together if you don't pay attention to the lyrics. Unfortunately, Knopfler seems to have lost the ability to choose exactly the right words for a situation that he displayed so brilliantly in that other Straits staple "Romeo and Juliet." "Who's Your Baby Now" hints...
