Now a 10 because Jim is dead and the song is that much more important in the landscape of pop music and culture. :))

Now all we need is "88 Lines About 44 Women" by the Nails.

Oh, I knew about it. I read it when it first came out, years ago. And I bought this album (yes, album) when it first came out. Knowing the history of Mr. Carroll provides quite a bit of legitimacy — and poignancy — to this particular song. |

Somehow I missed that Jim died. Very sorry to hear it.
Loved this song when it came out, bought the album and still have it. I will have to listen to it again. |

Yeah, it's rough and repetitive, but, somehow, this one epitomizes the undercurrents of rock. And urban life.
Plus, I love the cover.

Todd drove his bike into overpass. He didn't mean to do it, just goin' too fast. He was my friend, and he died.

Haven't we had enough of the "Two stupid lines about random people"-type songs?

Absolutely in agreement, two of my old-time-guilty-pleasure songs. Thanks Bill. |
