Another Rapp On Pearls Before Swine
Rick McGrath, Georgia Straight, The, 6 January 1971
PART I
Imagine you're a member of a rock band. You're trying to make it. O.K. Imagine a combination of the Everglades, and the corner of the biggest downtown intersection in the city of Your Choice. That's where you are when you start out. The aim of the game is to get out of the swamp and light the city on fire. If you get rich, just consider it a replacement of greenery. If you don't get out, don't despair... the hole is bottomless and everyone's intentions are biodegradable.
