Many lead double lives. How about that Dexter guy? This song is about the epitome of hypocrisy. The character lives a no preservatives, filler or artificial anything kind-of-a-life by day, and at night sneaks around partaking in the evil he preaches against. Wow, Jimmy Swaggart circa late ‘80s?
Larry Groce (pronounced gross) is a singer-songwriter who went to school in Texas with Michael “Wildfire Martin-Murphy. He spent a lot of time playing New York City coffee houses and traveled to many schools to perform, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. When “Junk Food Junkie” became a Top 10 Hit, he hit most of the major talk and variety shows. Since 1983 he has hosted a Public Radio program featuring singer-songwriters called “Mountain Stage”.
I’ll leave you with some lyrics that could discourage you from taking up the habit: “I'm afraid someday they'll find me Just stretched out on my bed With a handful of Pringles potato chips And a Ding Dong by my head”
