But a couple of years earlier this intriguing single came out with the same title
Ostensibly about a fast living manual worker who uses the ointment for the relief of muscular pain, Smithās witty word play spins on the name Jack and imagines him as a Kerouacian hero trapped in a Hell he rather enjoysā¦although with lyrics as abstruse as these itās hard to be sure.
Musically itās a naif radical blend of rockabilly, Beefheart and CAN. Whatās not to like? Oh yeah - typically for The Fall thereās no middle eight and itās deliberately unpolished and repetitive (he used to sack musicians if they became too proficient), so frequently got close to nul points in Walrusesā¦something of a badge of honour in many cases. Iām sure Smith would have approved.
It came from this twitter thread, I donāt think Southpaw would share it if it was not trueā¦ Hopefully another poster can find the link or case at the courts.
I think this is better for LC, so Iāll post it here.
Can you flesh this out a bit? If a person wants to only have sex with Asians in their personal life, then itās not racist. But if they only want to have sex with Asians at work, then it is racist? Did I get that right?
