Followed by, "I like big people," if memory serves. 'Course, that's 
that same album where he went off on the reviewers: "All the assholes, 
right up front." I don't think he detailed any of them but Christgau: 
"Work for a fucking year on a fucking album and you get a B-plus from 
some asshole in the Village Voice." God, I love that album--it's proof 
that speed kills.

All the best,
