A lot of people think this is a pretty funny song, and to be honest I used to think the same thing. But now I've come full circle and find it to be a terribly sad and moving song.

That is a very accurate description. |

A fun song. I always saw it as Tweedy's nod to Neil Young's "Roll Another Number". Neil and Jeff's crazy DUI antics...  |

I thought this was Cracker. Love the song. Would love it more if they would pick up the pace a notch.

Yes! More Wilco is better: bumper stickers should be issued! They are on a great tour right now: a must see!  |

Gotta give an 8 to any song that has lyrics concerned with someone spilling their beer!  |

The melody was so uninteresting I never even listened to the lyrics. I will pay more attention next time.
To me the lryics are secondary. That's probably why I don't like Springstein much either.........
