Gerry Studds (D-Mass) and Jerry Falwell taking up the pose...
...phallically, rising like a glittering crocus out of a chalice that somewhat resembles those silver bowls in which hotels serve grapefruit. He departs crucified on a Daliesque golden triangle that is slowly projected toward the audience by a hidden cherrypicker lift.

Joe Bob's alltime favorite was The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but he also raved about Burt Reynolds' W. W. and the Dixie Dancekings...
...Face" is easily the worst song on the album. With its soupy, predictable melody. "Face" would serve as a good sound-track for the sequel of Return of the Black Stallion Meets Chariots of Fire. You know, for the beach scene. Although Albrecht shows that his tongue is in cheek when he ends a set of mystical pseudo-poetry with the kicker, "Why don't you piss off," he is not quite as immune from shlock as he would have us believe...
