Jersey Beat review of "The Crucial Squeegie Lip"

From Jersey Beat , written by J.T. WEEN "The Crucial Squeegie Lip" Bird O' Pray, Box 39, Trenton, NJ 08601 This is sort of G.G. Allin for pre-pubescents, as 16-year old Dean and Gene Ween frolic through about 3 dozen songs (most under a minute long) about boobs, jelly, frogs, vitamins, everyone they know in high school, and the little thing inside the refrigerator that turns the light off when you close the door. Sure, it's kind of dumb and musically primitive, but Ween have solved the age-old question of how you make great rock 'n roll when you don't have any talent. Answer: You don't need any, just inventiveness, energy, and a sense of humor. (Remember "Louie, Louie?") Good taste is timeless. - J.T.
