J. Geils Band: Still Looking at the Purse

NEW YORK — "We have just begun to fight," bellows Peter Wolf, lead singer and songwriter for the J. Geils Band, banging his fist to punctuate his point and nearly cracking the white plastic Atlantic Records conference table. "That should be your headline. We believe everyone should have their chance to do their thing. But there's a lot of crap out there that we're just gonna have to do with, heheheheh," the Wolf cackles, looking every bit a demented left-bank bohemian with a terminal case of mal-du-siecle, in his black beret, dark glasses and long black French peacoat.
