I'd rather listen to "Go To Heaven" 50 times while watching "The Grateful Dead Movie" with my eyes propped open Clockwork Orange-style than ever sit through that Legion of Mary live CD again. To his credit, Saunders may have done the only decent playing on there, but the rest, fuck, if somebody told me that it was their dad's part-time bar band recorded live at Tiffany Tavern, I'd be like, "Damn, Tiffany Tavern shouldn't have to put up with this."
