DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
Under the artist name Mick Farren and Jack Lancaster, 1995 brought yet another side of Mick with The Deathray Tapes, a live performance consisting mostly of spoken-word material – but this is no 1960’s flower-child poetry reading. “Disgruntled Employee” imagines what might drive someone to shoot up their workplace, with the final straw being an unsuccessful date with a co-worker and then seeing her the next morning laughing with her girlfriends: “And I knew . . . that they were talking . . . about me!!!”
