Insight on Jeff Tweedy's Genius:
"When we were kids, when I was a kid...inventing country rock. Yeah, I invented it. So, this is...we said 'cock' a lot. And I just started to say it again like, a week and a half ago, two weeks ago. I went a long time without cock, without saying cock. And it was...it just came to me...and when we were, um, kids we used to say...I'll try to think of something good...that would have been cock. Your sister is cock. Uh, Van Halen is cock. Your mom is cock, your dad is cock, and your bicycle is cock. Now all my songs are cock, because I put the word cock in them. I took the liberty of putting 'cock' into Woody Guthrie's songs also. You guys are a rowdy crowd. I can tell already. And I'm thankful that no one has yelled 'Cock!' at me yet. So thanks in advance for, uh, holding back your cocks. Keeping your cocks at bay."

Introduction Croatia

Background:
Definition Field Listing
The lands that today comprise Croatia were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the close of World War I. In 1918, the Croats, Serbs, and Slovenes formed a kingdom known after 1929 as Yugoslavia. Following World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal independent Communist state under the strong hand of Marshal TITO. Although Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, it took four years of sporadic, but often bitter, fighting before occupying Serb armies were mostly cleared from Croatian lands. Under UN supervision, the last Serb-held enclave in eastern Slavonia was returned to Croatia in 1998.

Economy - overview:
Definition Field Listing
Before the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Croatia, after Slovenia, was the most prosperous and industrialized area, with a per capita output perhaps one-third above the Yugoslav average. The economy emerged from a mild recession in 2000 with tourism, banking, and public investments leading the way. Unemployment remains high, at over 13 percent, with structural factors slowing its decline. While macroeconomic stabilization has largely been achieved, structural reforms lag because of deep resistance on the part of the public and lack of strong support from politicians. Growth, while impressively over 4% for the last several years, has been achieved through high fiscal and current account deficits. The government is gradually reducing a heavy back log of civil cases, many involving land tenure. The EU accession process should accelerate fiscal and structural reform.
