...Tender." Ronstadt's stab at the tune is too polished, too slick to work well. She obliterated Presley's rough edges and raw power. "Blowing Away," a lethargic, mournful ballad in which producer-manager Asher sings background, dies before it starts, lacking the poignancy that makes Ronstadt's slowest songs click.

He also seems to have been given most of the best lines and is not on stage during the slowest routines. But it is not clear whether Emerson's obvious talents were well displayed in the sketches or whether the twinkle in his eye and his raised eyebrows allowed the sketches to be displayed well...
...form of off-the-water torture that the Chinese cannot take credit for. It looks like the tanks, but with not only no sunsets, but also no water, and no rowers. Except, of course, you. Just you, and the oar handle, a timer ticking the slowest seconds in Cambridge, if not the world, and a meter to let you know how you're doing...
