This record blowz. The tunes last forever -- one verse after another, same crap melody over and over, no drama, no nothing except the old ennui, which I guess is what appeals to some folks. And Lenny couldn't manage to sing in tune for more than three consecutive notes. He's improved somewhat over the years, but you all really need too look up from your "Fleurs de Mal" once in awhile. Poetry is poetry, music is music, and while Leonard's poetry may speak to you, his music sucks.
