Mike:
Your point is well taken...I just think these 2 songs are pretty light weight
for a band that (IMHO) is capable of better. And yes...there is alot of simple
power pop with dumb lyrics; Material Issue's "Destination Universe" is a
good example of an album in need of serious lyrical overhaul! None of this
means anything is "good" or "bad"...it's just one person's opinion!

If "Stacey's Mom" and "Bright Future In Sales" are dumb, then most of power
pop is...idiotic? Imbecilic? The former is silly, but certainly
intelligently written. "Bright Future In Sales" is Ray Davies for the 21st
Century -- affectionately skewering a yuppie in over his head. Calling
Fountains of Wayne dumb is...dumb.
