   I don't know.  I think Eric Clapton didn't do much, and I think the duet   
   with Paul is by far the worst song on the album, I do really enjoy Elton   
   John on "How Can We Still Be Dancing?"  In fact, I love that song.  A   
   lot of the stuff is really pedestrian.  I think there are some real high   
   points, like the title track and "Saturday Morning In The City."  I   
   actually kind of like "The Waltz."  I can't pin point why.  I'd rank it   
   pretty high up with WIlson's solo stuff, probably third next to Smile   
   and the self titled.  Most people bitch about the production on the self   
   titled, but as far as songwriting was concerned, it's the only one of   
   the three non-Smile studio solo albums where the melodies were still top   
   notch.  And you gotta love "Rio Grande."
