Conundrum is a lover's leap removed from those case histories of sexual maladjustment that dish up undigested gobbets of Freud liberally sauced with prurience and self-pity.

Elvis Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, demands branch water from an arcane spring in the Ozarks for his bourbon. The Allman Brothers get collard greens and Coors beer. For British groups, there is Irish ale and a stock of their favorite Dunhill and Rothman cigarettes...
