Streets Blather
April 18, 2004

As incredibly flawed as A Grand Don’t Come for Free is, the last track on the album (the secret alternate resolution song) made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Am I a big softy? Did I get sucked so far into the concept LP’s story even though it was rubbish?
