It's impossible for me not to have this song in my head whenever I fly home to Chicago.

brings back wonderful memories of exile in guyville playing in my basement apartment in 93

I still can't believe that Liz Phair put out this album. My friend went to high school with her (New Trier). She's totally North Shore and was definitely slumming in Wicker Park. I can't get her hs yearbook image out of my mind. Elizabeth Phair in a pearl necklace.

Has anyone ever heard Phair sing a note out-of-tune?

@thouston7 -- yup. I think they should sing it at the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley ...

[maddymud]

this just might be better than "Chicago is my Bitch" or whatever that horrible song Frank used to sing ...

@davekat, 'How do you catch lightning in a bottle?' I've tried to describe this album for my friends over the years. I think you hit the bulls-eye. It's lightning in a bottle.

Director: Liz Phair. Someone tell her that if she would like to direct a video for me, my band will shut the fuck up and do whatever Director Liz Phair says!

@thouston7 and every flight I've ever been on I try and sit in 27D

Cool vid, though it doesn't beat the movie that ran in my mind all the times I listened to it through the years. This is one of those rare albums that I can't just listen to one song, must listen to the whole album all the way through every time I click it on my ipod. wow, shepgold never knew this mentioned galaxy 500, weird. i must go back and review the transcripts from my misspent post-adolescence. to the archives!

God I love this song.
