	Hey moist amphibian lovers!!  Funny story:  I was at my friend 
the pack rat's house and we were looking through old magazines when I 
found this awesome page with Glen's face and a little article in Sassy 
December 90.  (can you believe she kept these magazines so long?)
The page is titled "One to Watch" and next to the long-haired profile of 
Glen it says:
	One of the songs on Toad the Wet Sprocket's second album, Pale, 
is entitled "I Think About."  That pretty much sums up Toad's 20-year-old 
lead singer, the very pensive Glen Phillips.  "I hope there's something 
in our music that makes people start to think," he says.  "I make music 
because it's a form of expression I need to keep myself sane and happy."  
Toad's music reminds me of REM because of the jangly guitars and because 
Glen tends to mumble when he sings.
	[continues on with generic info we already know]
...Their third album is due out in Febuary.  "It's a lot happier," says 
Glen.  "I'm feeling a lot better adjusted.  It's more rock and roll, less 
trance-y slow."  Although Glen doesn't believe they're selling out, he 
admits that the cheerier sound of the new LP may incite such cries.  In 
Santa Barbara, where the band still lives, "it was cooler to like us 
before we got signed."  Glen thinks this is a silly train of thought.  
"You can sit at the rock and roll table," he philosophizes, "but you 
don't have to eat the biscuit."
