Though not the only topic on the album, Hall has taken aim at the Bush administration & Royal Lunch is a direct shot at the heart of the monster. Royal Lunch has the feel of an America on the brink of disaster, the exact climate the album was written in, & as always, John S. Hall channels the socio-political climate of the globe, mixing in his slanted wit, creating a brilliantly acrimonious masterwork. Though politics could be called Royal Lunch's main obsession, other topics are dutifully discussed by post-beat NYC poet/lead singer John S. Hall. Topics such as the soothing bore of meditation, the sadness & terror of "joy," god, women, avocados, cake, kittens, babies, anti-matter & water beds full of Callista Flockhart's urine are all discussed with equal passion, eloquence & wit. Royal Lunch is as overtly political as it is slanted, sarcastic, sardonic & belligerent. All the elements of classic King Missile.
