its true enought that the book could have gone a little deeper - but i
didn't expect too much from it, and enjoyed it anyway.
Not too sure about Kevin Pearce tho - i read "Something Beginning With O"
years back, and found it a bit too shallow.
Is there such a thing as a NICE John's Children 45 - i only ever bought The
Legendary Orgasm LP because i was in a record shop, under the influence of
alcohol... it's terrible, really, it's nowhere near as good as The Untamed
(let me know which record you're still listening to.) - compared to most
60's stuff, JOhn's Children sound like a comedy record.
