Gary Lucas co-wrote “One Man’s Meat” with David Johansen, who sang it for Gary’s Gods and Monsters’ 2006 release, “Coming Clean,” and it reappeared on 2022’s “The Essential Gods and Monsters.” Rob Tannenbaum included the song in this past Saturday’s New York Times Playlist at https://bit.ly/41ECGhm
Rob cites David’s “Buddhist-adjacent philosophy through a series of riddles and paradoxes delivered at breakneck speed over Gary Lucas’s careening guitar.” It's uptempo, frenetic, lucid song with a double entendre and waffles on the fine line of flow versus fear.
