    Praise the Lord for Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted Logan, collectively know as White Stallions (the dream band of our heroes in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"). They are truly the only comparison I can reckon for this, uh, music group. "Mr. Mosh Part II", the guitarist, and "Felix the Cat", the drummer, constitute 2 Funky Swine. Using Revere Ware pots and pans as the staple of their equipment, they have compiled a repertoire of, um, "songs" (kind of), to confront certain issues. After introductions and the INITIAL DRUM SOLO, played on you know what, our comrades lead us through a tangent of..."selections" about the perception God has toward various subjects: sin - "Swine Snot"; skateboarders - "Kill the Skater"; hypocrisy and apathy - "You're a Joke"; affectionate feelings toward another - "Better Than Cornflakes"; abortion - title song; and, well, other subjects. To be truthful, the lyrics are not that bad...in fact, they're pretty insightful. The only problem is: I heard the guitar, and I heard the "drums", but WHERE'S THE MUSIC?? Just kidding, I know you guys were goofing around. Actually, I recommend purchasing this just to see the lyric sheet. Thank God for 2 Funky Swine. Thank God for Revere Ware cookery. Thank God 2 Funky Swine used both sides of a 60-minute tape, instead of a 90-minute one! God bless 'em! If you'd like to order this, uh, tape, send $4 (checks made payable to Alan Newberry) to: 1409 N. Blue Mills Rd, Independence MO 64056.
