Medicine: In The Proper Dosage
Erik Himmelsbach, LA Reader, 8 September 1995
BRAD LANER needs to stand up. After a half hour of kneeling against his bed in a sort of praying position simultaneously answering questions about his band Medicine and rolling enough cigarettes to support a black-market economy in Bosnia he breaks his roll-smoke-talk routine to address an issue that requires more emoting than kneeling can provide, doing his best Mike-Love-at-the-Rock-n-Roll-Hall-of-Fame imitation in the process.
