He deliberately imitates the total recall of a village wiseacre who insists on telling a captive audience about some intricate scandal involving at least three generations...

Mills normally plays sixth singles...

They're out to get us; boy, one and all ... They fill the air with boomerangs. It's up to us to see they miss, no matter how." His personal style is unmistakable, reaching in places to the wonderful idiosyncrasy of J. D. Salinger's hero of The Catcher in the Rye. He has youth's uncertain arrogance ("Girls drool over me") and its superstitions...
