Jay Farrar, of Son Volt and Uncle Tupelo fame, recalls what happens when 400 drunk college fans would rather see the opening act. Read more at The Worst Gig (WorstGig.com).

@hatchetswingin4life Yes, you're absolutely right, the band does need new equipment. Thank you for pointing out this life lesson that Jay Farrar and company apparently never picked up from 20+ years of recording and touring.
In all seriousness, it's a live recording that presumably used the camera's built-in mic for sound capture rather than drawing directly from the mixing console. Relax, and if you really want to hear this song, patronize the band and buy some of their studio-recorded music.

@myndseye711 Jay smokes Jeff in any period you can name. Jay's a far superior songwriter.

Good song, but...ummmm..no one can compare to Jeff Tweedy.

One of the greatest song writers since Dylan and Neil Young. This dude touches your soul.



This is one of those songs that just blows you away the first time you hear it.

For the last fifty years the poison in a song like this would have been booze. Leave it to Jay Farrar to bring the subject matter into the present. The geographic references in the lyrics are the best. Monsanto, casio, Branson.
