"bozo wacko weirdo creep" should be credited also to Wyn Cooper, and "black mamba kiss" should also have a Charlie Sexton credit.

This song pays big to the patient listener. Begins and stays very sullen and rolls into this wonderful frolic of finger picking and DB's musing. I truely can't get enough.

Does anyone else remember the old skit from one of Steve Martin's early comedy albums. "You just can't sing a sad song on the banjo"! Well DB did it, and pulled it off masterfully.
A review of The Crash from A Fine Mess posted by Andrew on 3/19/2003
The Crash should really be a major commercial hit round the globe. Instead, it stays secretly hidden away on this work in progress album. This is a much better version that in in the new NFU album. Gotta keep those edgy bits and not smooth things out too much. I must be the only person in New Zealand who owns a copy.

Why were these songs unreleased? Why?!?? I love this song for it's bare (baer?) arrangement...poignant and unpretentious...DB's my boy...wonder who his muse is....
A review of Love #29 from A Fine Mess posted by Kravitz on 2/3/2003
I remember after receiving A Fine Mess, this was the first song that really caught my ear. A year earlier I went through a divorce, and the lyrics of this song, particularly the chorus, really brought a chuckle. To this day, whenever trust comes up in conversation I think of this song.

The fact that this song was on the HCTNFU release, and didn't get crap for air time, really proved to me just how completely disjointed the music industry is.
