Even though I usually refrain from observing four-twenty, it gets a whole lot lamer when it’s dark out. The Boston sun will bid us a dismally premature farewell—setting prior to 4:20 p.m.—from this week through late December, leaving us indebted to Thomas Edison for practically everything we do. The perpetual darkness of early winter may be a drag, but probably more irritating and monotonous is the industrial scale on which we complain about its inconvenience.

...first song than Big Head Todd did in its whole set. Instead, Todd turned in boring songs that sounded like variations of "Knocking on Heaven's Door," or worse, like something by Eddie and the Cruisers. Their version of Led Zeppelin's "Tangerine" was more simplified and much lamer than the original. Also, Todd's uninspired lyrics were filled with rock cliches: "You're the only one that I want."
