...second album, "The White Sport Coat and the Pink Crustacean," is probably the pick of his litter. It has several of his best wry vignettes, and the rudest of the crude underground hits he'll be remembered by: I really do appreciate the fact you're sitting here Your voice sounds so wonderful But your face don't look so clear.

Both were Phi Beta Kappa freethinkers-and poles apart in their thinking, especially in politics.
