Back when I was a teenage DJ on WICN, this was a new rotation release.  That is until I accidentally backed a chair over the album and cracked it clean in two.  Julia the music director yelled at me because it probably wasn't going to get replaced.  A few years later when I was at Emerson, WERS purged some records to make room on the shelves and this is one of the 40 or so records I scooped up.  I almost thought I was going to bring it back to WICN but they got rid of their rock department so  my heroic replacement that crossed my mind never happened and now this one has sold.  

Even with my love of hardcore 1986, this one didn't seem like a big loss.  I find a little more pleasure in it now with it goof on "Hey Joe" and "House of the Rising Sun"  as well as 7 Seconds sounding vocals.  Well maybe not that anthemic or audience friendly.  The tune of "House..." gives a self effacing band appraisal of Love Canal where nobody likes how they play so they have to play by themselves.

I'm liking it more and more for that.

Bob's public precursor to his own divorce has taken a strange turn in the public narrative over the years, whether reflecting domestic tranquility or turbulence.   Beyonc é  might tell you she flips pancakes or boils an egg to Blood On The Tracks on a Sunday morning.  Jakob Dylan might rail that ...
