"This playful debut album is a happy surprise. Like Shel Silverstein and Tom Lehrer a generation ago, Forster is a musical satirist who mixes social critique with a shot of wry...The album's masterpiece is Fusion, a parody of Paul Simon's Graceland that skewers Simon's borrowing of African music like an entomologist pinning down a prized bug." - Roger Wolmuth, People Magazine"One of the funniest CDs I've heard in years. Forster has the world view of George Carlin, the musical parody chops of Frank Zappa in his glory days, musically and lyrically clever in ways that only Al Yankovic can only dream about." - Paul D. Lehrman, The Boston Phoenix
"John Forster is exactly what's been missing from this generation of musical artists--a high-quality satirist. That we're in the hands of a master is obvious from the first lines of Entering Marion." - Amy Waldman, The News-Herald, Marshfield, MA
"Entering Marion became an instant office favorite. Forster's witty lyric play goes right to the funny bone, never failing to tickle the brain as well." - Debbi Appelbaum, Friday Morning Quarterback
"Though the delightfully risque' title song is a tasty treat, the heart of this album is in its satiric songs. The Big Mac Tree is the best ecological song I've heard in years. Right up there with Tom Lehrer." - Dr. Demento, The Dr. Demento Newsletter
