Thanks: Well there's always the thank tank. Funny they'd even want their name here considering how these things threaten to turn out: Regina Joskow (for amazing press mess), Andy Childs and Geoff Travis (for not knowing how to fold up), Tom Carolan (for the wanting), Bettina Richards (for setting up the verbal tennis match with Peter), Randy Poster (for that which begat Fruit Child, Large), Joyce Lineham (a fine dealer in chaos), Richard Grabel (keeping an eye out), Fred Burgoise (for trying to get my publishing coin from Homestead), Kathleen Beaten (for the healthy dream Blur instead of the studio couch during the whole time of said recording), and of course Nicola Freegard (for any reason), and Sofia Albertsen (for helping push me to stab the cover).  Plus: Juliana Hatfield, Evan Dando, ABS: Barry-Max-Charlie-Nigel, Harvey Moltz, John D. Graham, Harriet Allen, Cheryl and the Whole Family, Carol and Ernie, Rimrock Ranch, Dusty, Szu Wang and Jack McCabe, Hotel Congress, and those I forgot here at 3:00 am.
