Geez, I never realized that this song was so disliked! I'm not wild about
the first verse...it sounded to me like the lyrics should be reworked in some
way, as though she is rushing to say too much at once. But the later verses
are typical Joni brilliance, imho. "The ulcerated ozone, these tumors of the
skin, the hostile sun beating down on this massive mess we're in." That line
always gives me chills.
The song I'm not wild about on TI is How do You Stop. I usually skip over
that one.
I do remember having a real appreciation for the first time of Be Cool when I
heard that Las Vegas-ey, Doc Severinson-ey version at the BSN concert in
Concord. Maybe Sex Kills will come off that way for all you doubters!
