Biography usually quests for an existence that makes a difference. Dean's specialty was indifference. He did decent work in a few good movies (Some Came Running, Rio Bravo), but passed through others with slight effect, like the gentle baritone rumbling of a distressed stomach. His TV show was flash encircling stupor: the Golddigger chorines did their cooch; the cue-card girl had the script written on her bare midriff.

Mainstream Rolling stone ignored them, while the more clued in Spin thought they were hilarious, pushing mass culture's rampant images of sex and violence to an absolutely nauseating hilt. Their album was called America Must Be Destroyed, their forthcoming video Phallus in wonderland...
