Not that Funny is the one Lindsey song on Tusk that I can't abide. I really like some of the Brian Wilson-esque touches on tracks like Save me a place, Walk a thin line and That's all for everyone; I know I'm not wrong and That's enough for me might almost be throwaway but they're fun; I really love the zanyness of The Ledge and the mesemeric nature of the title track. What makes you think you're the one is the only other one that is debatable for me and after it there is a grateful relief in getting to to the beauty of Storms .
Not that Funny just seems lazy and soon outstays any welcome I could possibly be persuaded to give it. It can't quite be hidden away and forgotten about like some of the worst moments of the Beatles' White Album-there is a limit to how much indulgence I can give to Mr B.
