I'm shocked, this is very good. Doesn't listen at all like a vanity project of a major actor(which I would have assumed if not forced to listen). Now it's not the greatest thing in avant rock history, but it's very well produced. I don't know what kind of personnel are on it, but whoever produced it knows his ****. If Glover himself did, I'm astonished.
Reminds me a ton of Zappa's spoken word pieces. Most notably 'The Adventures of Greggory Peckary'. With that said, it's not as good, and tends to take the dumber sensibilities of Zappa's humor(and trust me, as a Zappa lover, there was quite a bit of that). Yet still, it's very close to it's obvious influence, and pleasing to listen to.
Still though, well better than expected. Much weirder as well, and not a forced weird, either. Only track I didn't like was 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin'' because... seemed cheesy, and Megadeth did it way better. Still, the rest is ****ing brilliant.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
