Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

12/1/79: Why Listen?

  • Why do anything, right?
  • Because strange men stand ready to suddenly finger buttholes, and you owe it to them.
  • Do it for the Maine.
  • Do it for the ‘Gram.
  • Maybe you’ll get to roll with an octopus.
  • What were you gonna listen to, Leonard Cohen?
  • You don’t really have to listen to Leonard Cohen.
  • His poetry is fine, but his music sounds like a nap committing suicide.
  • Chicks wanted to fuck him, but he’s dead now and therefore cannot be fucked by any chicks, and so you can put on some groovier tunes, such as 12/1/79.
  • Because He’s Gone>Gloria Jam>CC Rider>Jam.
  • You don’t know enough about ’79, so square your shit up and fly right.
  • The Plebs demand it.

    Excellent call. A soundboard of this show was one of my first tapes. Jerry’s leads on I Know You Rider and the jam after He’s Gone are up there with the best of them.
