Consumer Guide Album. Stan Ridgway: Mosquitos The voice of the American antihero deepens-Ridgway invests his tall tales of the end of the line with lazy, crazy conviction. He thanks Samuel Beckett for "Dogs," rings James M. Cain for "Peg and Pete and Me," and isn't altogether stupid about "Newspapers. But it's a lead-pipe cinch that if he says he can't find "The Last Honest Man," he's a liar.
