A great track from a strange yet appealing album. I always seem to like popular bands' oddball albums like this one, R.E.M.'s "Up" and U2's "Pop." I like it when bands take chances even at the risk of confusing their fan base and delivering lowered sales.

What's with this "we" stuff? Speak for yourself. Good song. |

Personally, I have to give Soundgarden most of the credit for that one.  PA1749 wrote:Best band of all time! If it wasn't for PJ we would all still be wearing bright colored parachute pants and listening to Cindy Lauper!

Give it a ten!
Anyone who hates PJ should listen to this at an elevated volume. Most excellent Garth!

One of the better, more effective, simplistic album art I"ve seen in a while. Like it. Tune is good too.

Awesome song, awesome album. This album marked the transition away from their pop grunge fans to becoming a well refined group, and selling out shows around the world.

This song works well on an early Friday afternoon, starting slow and easy and then exploding with good things to come. Great tune!

the second guitar part behind

The love he receives is the love that is saved"

Bill must have been listening to WLS out of Chicago when he was a kid. It was a great station in the late 60's and early 70's when I was growing up in Northern Wisconsin.
Only came in at night.
