A smiling band
My kid wore the same shirt as terry the other day. He better not become a chiropractor.
I loved that shirt until my sisters boyfriend (RIP) stole it 😔

If we remove the blackened letters from "Cut the Crap," we are left with the word "utter." And rearranging the blackened letters forms "patch." Utter patch? Patch utter? This surely means something. But what? But what?!

There are a number of letters to work with here. "Lido" "Bar" "Hundred Dollars" Surely there is a secret screed waiting to be deciphered.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Lido bar is an anagram for Bardoli, a city in India. Dollars can be turned in dorsal—superfluous L is tossed away as a sacrifice to the Illuminati—and hundred clearly means century, or sentry. So, the back of an Indian sentry.

...and if you remove the first two words of the title you are lfet with your answer.

Oh and for those who think the album is ground breaking. "Patch utter" is an anagram of Path Cutter.

By Isis, you're right! It's actually Utter Chap—not rearranging required. Was this supposed to be an Up With People album?

The album curses anyone who seeks to understand its significance.
