Michigander. Maybe a poet? But track record says I’m a poser.
Listener of music. Reader of books. In summer see me at Lake Michigan a lot offering the appearance of being hip because I am wearing sunglasses. 🏳️🌈 Gen X for life.

The live version of this appeared on Rock Spectacle, late 1996. I was vaguely in the know but this album introduced them and this amazing song to me. It is always fun to try and belt this one out when it comes on.

January 1990. Beautiful lyrics. Beautiful voice. Feels a bit of The Smiths (same record label I think). The jangly guitars sound so perfect.
🎶 It's that little souvenir,
of a terrible year,
which makes my eyes feel sore 🎶

1992 and grunge was a cultural force. I wasn’t cool enough to know Mother Love Bone and this tour de force version of this song until this soundtrack. It is eight and a half minutes and every second feels like part of the story.
