...more or less than they are. Silver Street's Tony Lonto, for instance, cannot help being a good cop any more than he can keep from making a futile effort to steer a young prostitute into a respectable job as a waitress. Case Load's Detective Mose Hamilton sees only punks in the world he polices, and the sour vision inevitably makes him a mean...
...ever. Because his head is just as divided and contradictory and imprisoned as ours. A lot of the record is a tribute to old popular music and jazz, including a Dylan waltz ("winter-lude/this dude thinks you're fine"), and "If Dogs Run Free," a beautiful Mose Allison-style piece which makes no sense at all, but features fine piano and coat-singing in the background...

It captures some of Rush's best performances: a riotous rendition of the old jazz tune "Sister Kate" acquired from Eric von Schmidt and a version of "Baby Please Don't Go" that I prefer to Mose Allison's. Excepting "Rag Mama" and "Drop Down Mama," which have inordinately good lyrics much of the remainder is pedestrian...
