As an ambulance takes the wounded man away, Laurel shakes his head. "I don't like it when the shooting starts," he says.

...Demme says flat out the Feelies are the "premier live-rock band in America." They are in no danger of becoming the Demme house band, however. Their new Coyote/A&M album, Only Life, is just their second major-label release, but it ought to be a commercial bust-through...
