I'm not a real 'Political' kind of person, but I've been listening to these assholes for quite some time now. I'm not a genius but I'm not an idiot either. I fall into the same category as most of the people I know. I'm just a regular kinda guy that has a regular kinda job and live a regular kinda life with the same old regular kinda shit to deal with that we all deal with from time to time. Hey!

They never achieved anything more than a Cult following either though. This first one is one of their best songs from the 1984,Oblivion album. Nobody else liked it but I do.

And that brings us to the T's. There's quite a few of them too.These first two are from a Guy in his Solo Artist incarnation. He's had many different incarnations. I think he was a talent along the lines of Frank Zappa. He never was a 'Mainstream Success', and he didn't care. The difference between him and Zappa is that Zappa didn't do 'performance enhancing drugs'. I believe, by his own
