...Jews Like Jesus Anymore," is embarrassingly sophomoric. "Somethin's Wrong With the Beaver," a eulogy to Jerry Mathers--supposedly killed in Victnam, actually alive and working as a bank teller in California--wavers between pathos and satire, finally achieving neither. Most of the other songs are simply incoherent or pointless. Where Sold American was absurdly satirical or emotionally poignant this album is strained, inane, and often vulgar...

He and his canine companion Arrow have a series of adventures--all too reminiscent of those of Alice in Wonderland--through which Oblio arrives at several earth-shattering conclusions: that the allegedly "Pointless" Forest to which he has been banished is not pointless after all, that "you don't have to have a point to have a point," and that "a point in every direction is the same as no point at all."

In retrospect, we can see that Malcolm's ideological development, his evolution from self-hate to nationalistic self-pride to internationalistic solidarity, was ahead of its time. While it is pointless to whine about "what he could have done" had he not died, it is essential to study, grasp, and put into practice the things he showed us while he lived...
