To stack more wood on the fire, Meat also said at some point he'd never record "Bad for Good" because it was a copy of "Bat." Didn't stop him (or whoever was in control, because I like to give Meat the benefit of the doubt) from recording it for Bat 3. Our point, I guess, is that if there's nothing else Jim has on the pile ready to record, then much like Bat 3, sometimes you just gotta make do with the left-overs.
And seriously, on another topic, what's with all the "Stark Raving Love" hate? I think it's an awesome track in spite of Jim's vocals. Wait a minute -- theorist's cap coming on: song Meat swore he'd never do... his guitarist came up with a good arrangement... anyone who's listened to the song knows how big the guitar is toward the end... but then where would Patti come in? Ah, maybe I'm just connecting the wrong dots.
