Rubella, meanwhile, has some text messages she has to send. At the end, we hear, in song, about the self-renamed Tarque 163's favourite meal. -

Customer Reviews
Oh, I am gonna LAAUGH!
I have been a fan of this man's writing and humor for many years, as well as his older (and now, newer) musical work. Now I can listen to his acerbic, yet not mean, buttery, but never greasy, humorous observations on these times, as well as his rich treasure trove of stories from the glory days of the cultcha we call rock'n'roll, man!
