After the bitter divorce from Ana Ng, he's off to Cowtown! Looks like he's gotten over things, turning over a new leaf and all that. I mean, as long as you've got your good friend the cow, who needs a psycho bitch? Turns out, it's all bluster. The divorce has fucked him up more than he would admit--so he goes on prescription drugs to keep his hands from shaking, to keep him in a good mood, to "disintegrate his ever-troubled mind". On the uptick, he gets a good idea: a total change of image. A purple toupee! Yeah, that'll do the trick. That'll turn things around, that'll show the way. As far as I can tell, this is where the narrative (that I just made up) ends. I guess the purple toupee worked out for him? Or he blew his brains out, which is why the narrative ends.
The album continues with a collection of songs of unassailable, acerbic wit. "Kiss Me, Son of God" might just be the best album closer of all time.
