...long way--he was Huck Finn with a guitar. Before such artfulness, death ain't nothin' but a hound dog. The only dismaying quality about the remix of A Little Less Conversation, which is a lot of fun to listen to, is the splicing in of techno sounds, electronic warps and woofs that are like the revenge of impersonal forces on a profoundly original man who thrust and sneered and sobbed (chuckled) impersonal forces away.
