...hewn edges of Gob’s political and social outlook. Their next album—the 1998 release How Far Shallow Takes You—is, in its insouciance, vastly different from Too Late.

The things that the media blow up as being radical--whether it's homophobia or sexism or acquiring material possessions--in our society, I hate to break the news to people, but there's nothing radical about any of those things. Those things have been going on in a very mainstream way for a very, very long time here. What's far more radical is to actually get beyond...
