If ever a artist needed a good producer to separate the wheat fromt he chaff, it's His Purpleness.

Yow. Well, there are some artists who oscillate between awesome and
awful, I guess.
* Oingo Boingo: Listen to "Dead Man's Part" and "Skin," then listen
to most anything else.
* Prince. If he'd quick feckin' around he'd be the best ever.
* Barenaked Ladies. Way too clever and precious for their own good.
Should do more "The Old Apartment" and "Shoebox" and less wanking.
* Cheap Trick. I love CT, but every glorious moment is matched by
four or five forgettable ones.
* Freddie Mercury. Had his moments, but frankly was no better than
the second best writer in the band.

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch,
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing
from your heart.
- John Millington Synge
