The Pursuit of Happiness
Love Junk (1988): The lead singer of TPOH is a good songwriter, if by good songwriter you mean a good lyricist. He’s not so strong on the melodies and the musical backing of the band is strictly generic faceless hard rock. Still, this is reasonably entertaining and competent, and a few numbers are knock-outs, particularly their big hit, ‘I’m an Adult Now’ – “I don’t hate my parents / I don’t get drunk just to spite’em / I got my own reasons to drink now / I think I’ll call my Dad up and invite him.”
