    NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS (U.K) Review by Andy Gill (1986):
    "Glad Music" has convinced me that R. Stevie Moore is a genius of a rare order, with the ability to marshall a bewildering diversity of styles and influences and mould them into something quite peculiarly his own. He's one of the few practitioners of post-modernist cross-pollination with the wit and sheer taste to produce a worthy hybrid. Buy this record and make him a tax exile."
    SOUNDS (U.K) Review by Jack Barron (1986):
    "Glad Music is Stevie's first proper studio project to date. Up until now, so far as I can recall, his albums have been splattered with the low-tech efforts that he puts out by the hundreds via his cassette club. I once said that Stevie was the Black Hole of pop music, and that holds true on this album which traipses through metal, country, psychedelia and what have you."

    Not only is this song a banger 40 years on but this music video with its raw, unedited, candid footage doesn't look at all out of place in today's world of spontaneous smart phone recordings. R. Stevie Moore is a cultural prophet.

    Someone tell me what I'm s'posed to
    Do when the occasion comes
    Around for me to prove I am
    Good
    I can't find the answer to the
    Question even though I'd like to
    Demonstrate, if only I
    Could
    You are just part of the problem
    I must be most of the problem
    Funny people always come to
    Me about their inhibitions
    But there's no solution at all
    I would like to help but I am
    Usually too busy to
    Prevent the way my friends want to fall
    You are just part of the problem
    I must be most of the problem
    And consequently, the combination
    Of your rhetoric and my ignorance
    Only tends to horrify the situation to the point where
    The lifeblood of our relationship evaporates
    Into the air on which we choke
    I wanna show you that I
    Can't be any more inspiring
    Just leave me alone until the
    Time comes when I learn the answer
    Then I'll write a novel 'bout it
    You can read the novel and the
    Problem will be solved and we can
    Then go back to living in an
    Ordinary way and all the
    People all around us can say
    They are really happy
    That the novel was successful
    And they know just how to cope with today
    Possible, impossible
    It's possible, impossible
    It's probable, improbable now
    Possible, impossible
    It's possible, impossible
    It's probable, improbable now
    You are just part of the problem
