Lotion on CD sounds fine but not outstanding to me, too.  Maybe that's part
of P.'s point--that it's good, unpretentious rock 'n' roll.  Haven't heard
the band live, which might be another thing entirely.

*Vineland* in particular gives me the impression that P. has great affection
for "ordinary" rockers of every age.  I don't see much of an interest in
rock "icons."

And then there's the matter of Johnny Copeland.  Anyone know the source of
the JC quote that opens *Vineland*?  

I don't,
