Timbuk 3: Edge of Allegiance [I.R.S., 1989]
"Dirty Dirty Rice" is the single, and before you say, "Just what we need, another song about soul food," give them credit--that would be "Dirty Rice." Dirty dirty rice is a street delicacy available in the dumpster of your local Popeye's, and releasing singles about such stuff could keep them on "the B side of life" for the rest of their natural days. Since they not only cop to the prospect but can live with it--"I like my free time and I love my wife"--I predict that their songs will remain winsome and wise for as long as the record company puts them out. And that they could hit the jackpot again without trying. B+
