is just terrific, with instrumentals like "Rubber Shirt" and slaps at American life like "Honey, Don't You Want a ManLike Me?" Love "Baby Snakes," too, with all the weirdly done vocals ("Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers" and "Dit dit...dit dit... dit dit... dit dit...")

I liked "Bobby Brown" until I got "woke" and realized what it was about. Kinda the same with "Jewish Princess."

Note: The same guy who turned me on to Zappa also got me into Pink Floyd, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and Monty Python. I owe my cultural life to him.
