...quarter-century after Lincoln's death, the innocent but mindless inside maneuverings of Caroline Harrison, wife of Benjamin, would jeopardize the White House with an element war could not: grandeur. She loved the White House but wanted more space. She rallied Cabinet officers and engineers to produce a plan for massive buildings attached to the existing White House and an enclosed quadrangle in the French Neoclassical mode. She had public and official support but not that of House Speaker Thomas B. Reed. Miffed by a postal appointment, he refused to let the authorization bill come to the floor. All that...
...dance music, a few of Martin's rhythms still have an edge, but one that has become increasingly dull as time progresses and mindless repetition ensues. About a third of Sound Loaded is just Spanish versions of other tracks on the album and a large other half are mind-numbing soporific pop numbers that, without any distinctive characteristics, are useless even as dance tunes.

Along with the Charles Manson bloodbath four months earlier, Altamont revealed...

In Blue is to music what Last Action Hero was to cinema: the apotheosis of a certain kind of mindless cookie-cutter workmanship, like Warhol without the ironic distance. The only track on the album that doesn't just shriek with brain-bursting insignificance is the instrumental last track, "Rebel Heart." The fiddle from previous Corr albums is back, albeit surrounded by the same MIDI-file accompaniment that infests the rest...
