|
 |
| Because
they play softball . . . |
|
Wear
Chuck Taylors . . .
|
 |
|
 |
| And
eat BBQ. |
|
But
in reality, they are actually quite E-V-I-L.
|
 |
|
 |
|
On
their last tour, they allowed my band, Run On, to open
for them... as long as we carried their equipment...
|
|
And
sold t-shirts for them. |
 |
|
 |
|
Ira
threw beer bottles at bad soundmen...
|
|
Especially
when the band didn't get everything in their rider.
|
 |
|
 |
| James
beat up the doorman at Moe's in Seattle. |
|
I
heard they deflated the tires of the Breeders' tour
bus.
|
 |
|
 |
| When
their alter ego played on my radio show on WFMU...
|
|
I
proposed a 4th of July cookout but had trouble with
the charcoal.
|
 |
|
 |
| In
a rage, Georgia called me "the worst host ever."
|
|
They
don't care who they step on, they'll stop at nothing
to get to the top.
|
 |
|
 |
| They
can squeeze blood from a sugarcube. |
|
On
their new album they stoop to remixes, trumpet solos,
Burt Bacharach samples...
|
 |
|
 |
| And
a song made famous by religious fanatics Anita Bryant
and Marie Osmond. |
|
The
record is full of noisy guitars, wach beats, anger,
violence, and repressed sexual tension.
