UGLY THINGS #57  

Any more words would be superfluous, but you do wanna know what I think 'bout it, hunh?

But yeah, the things' a winner as you woulda expected even to the point where them articles on various acts that you probably wouldn't care about that much are worth the eyeballin'. I mean, I wouldn't be caught dead with an Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera album but the detailed article on 'em (which woulda been an expensive book had that group any real purchasing power) was pretty snat indeed. Ditto for things like the Doors (I mean, eh!) which was interesting enough even if I find the whole Jim Morrison mystique one of the more puzzling phenomenons to hit rock music since the 'and roll" was lopped offa it back 'round the time these guys were making alla them hit records. But the other things, like the Kenne Highland interview and Phil Milstein's detailed trek into Song Poems land not forgetting Lenny Kaye's article on Sandy Bull really made this particular ish something to hold to your girlfriend's bosom no matter how flat chested she may be.

Of course the rare snaps like the one of a very early Downliners Sect and the reviews make this' 'un a top notcher in my book! The scarcity of moolah has put a curb on the buying but man if I had money to spare you can bet there'd be a whole lotta rich-er people out there in record and book selling land. One that I hope'll get you through even more of this evil, desperate existence of ours we call living.
