About The Album

From Steve Taylor: On The Fritz and Working Better Than Ever, Sparrow Spotlight, Q2-Q3(?) 1985:

"At the time I started writing," Taylor recalls, "a lot of Christian music wasn't very honest. It talked about a Christianity that didn't exist. You know, 'Jesus makes me happy all the time, and I praise the Lord every minute of my life, every breath I take' -- it just wasn't rooted in reality. That's not even a Biblical reality; we're all human, we have struggles, we have things we have to face."

With the release of his first mini-LP, I Want To Be A Clone, Taylor's name quickly began to spread. "We had just released that album to see what would happen," he recalls. "When it started taking off, I had to make a decision: is that what I want to do? And so I decided to go ahead and start touring."
