Artist:Was (Not Was)Review:Before he became superproducer to Bob Dylan and the RollingStones, Don Was (né Fagenson) helmed a satiric, mutantR&B outfit with jazz-loving pal David Was (né Weiss).Early-Eighties jams like the P-Funky "Out Come the Freaks" and theRonald Reagan-sampling "Tell Me That I'm Dreaming" were avant-discoclassics. Later, semihits threatened to make the group pop stars,but its taste for unmarketable weirdness (say, Leonard Cohencroaking about "Elvis' Rolls Royce") won out.Rating:3.5 Stars
