Great Review for Anti-Drug Pop Song

I thought this review was refreshing - not just the album but Alex for coming out with the good review too

“I'm Straight,” The Modern Lovers, The Modern Lovers
A truly rare pop song: a fervently anti-drug message delivered without pretension, a new wave anthem sung by a square. The singer wants to replace the "always stoned" current lover of the object of his affection, Hippie Johnny, and shouts defiantly, "I'm straight, and I want to take his place."
