Taylor, though, is as much comedian as poet. While On the Fritz feels a little less like a novelty record than his previous albums, several of the songs are still essentially satirical sketches with musical accompaniment. In "Lifeboat," for example, Taylor adopts a pepper pot falsetto and portrays a female headmistress who teaches her students the superficial values of a culture obsessed with physical beauty. The Joe Walsh-esque pop on this album doesn't demonstrate that as well as his later albums (particularly the sweepingly cinematic I Predict 1990 and the fragmented poetry he wrote with Chagall Gueverra). But in moments like the jangly U2 pop anthem "I Forgive," On the Fritz shows signs that Taylor's range of expression was steadily expanding.
The song "On the Fritz", the title track from Taylor's next studio album, was also targeted at Swaggart During a performance at 1984's Cornerstone Festival, Taylor fractured his ankle while jumping off the stage In 1985, Steve received his first Grammy nomination in the "Best Male Gospel Performance&quo.
