Jeff
I think you are absolutely correct there.
While on the subject, I have to say, Hit It To Death is my fave Lips album, and one of my
all time favorite albums. It always seems to get the short shrift in any discussion of
the band. I've sort of grown weary of the noise made about Yoshimi and even Soft
Bulletin. I think part of the success of Hit It can be laid on the participation of J
Donahue.
