that's exactly right. ..which ben folds brought, but also, there was a kind of a literate sensibilityere's a complexity, isn't there? there's also a very sardonic humour. that's exactly right. and ben, like many of the bands i've loved, uses lyrics... they're not comedians, and this plays into the conversation about my musical comedy. you know, the kinks, remember, they were writing dedicated follower of fashion and "i want to be like david." like, they were doing musical satire, and the beatles were winking and nodding and giggling through the whole thing, until they got super—serious. but so much of it was sardonic. and ben folds definitely, with rockin�* the suburbs and all that, and one angry dwarf and all that, was right on some sort of cusp between pop and satire. 0ne angry dwarf and 200... solemn faces. ..solemn faces, which is the opening track on this album. great title, isn't it? forever and ever amen. yeah. # now i'm big and important # 0ne angry dwarf # and 200 solemn faces # are you if you really want to see me, check # the papers and the tv...# that's a revenge song, isn
