I don't know...it sort of sounds like a sequence from Sesame Street intended to demonstrate to youngsters the negative effects of antisocial behavior.  I imagine assorted Muppets featured in a string of light-hearted dramatic segments which illustrate the point, all set to this song with the word "ATTITUDE" showing up at the bottom of the screen whenever they recite the lyric.  Something created by child psychologists and hard luck musicians at the Childrens Television Workshop.

Surprised we never hear any of Westerberg's solo stuff on here.
Stereo (2002) is a masterpiece.

one of the best comments i have read on RP.

The Replacements were never the same after Bob Stinson was ousted, but hey, we'll always have that killer guitar on "Johnny's Gonna Die" to hang our top hat on...

Sure you don't mean 'The Residents'?    
 
Well that's very different.

Hello RP-Listeners!

I wish all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS",
wherever you are - whoever you wanna be!

Christmas is a sweet-naive tradition -
not a religious event! 

I like it anyway!

Still - I hope Bill takes the chance
to rock the christmas-tree to pieces tonight!

"Happy Christmas
your "BAD SANTA",
aka STINGRAY
-from Cologne/Germany-
PS
Sermon of the day (promise: I'm serious):

The "Three Wise Men" - Melchior, Balthasar + Caspar
are buried in a golden sarcophage in"our" dome, the famous 
"Cologne dome" - the third highest church-building
in the world - right in the very centre of town, next to the Rhine.
A gothic building of extra-class!

I had this album when I was in high school. I really enjoyed it and wish people would play stuff from it more often.

As someone who struggles with alcohol abuse, the opening lines got my attention:

Well when you open that bottle of wine
you open a can of worms every time

No, typically they do a drive-by on his house, at least that's how it happens in my hood. . .

I saw the 'Mats at a rat-hole club in the Ybor City section of Tampa on this tour. If I had known it was the last time I'd get to see them together, I would have paid more attention.

Well, I had a great time. The place was jumping, I had my best girl there, and 7 g. of Western Kentucky's finest in my back pocket.
 It was one of those nights! {#Dancingbanana} {#Drunk} {#Cowboy} {#Hug} {#Wave}

And if this great man finds those pointing out his faults to be clueless, and tells them as much, does he then become their benevolent teacher?

I kinda hear Scrappy Jud Newcom from the Resentments (ironically) in his voice. This would be a very good song for them to cover...

When a country obtains great power,
it becomes like the sea:
all streams run downward into it.
The more powerful it grows,
the greater the need for humility.
Humility means trusting the Tao,
thus never needing to be defensive.

A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
as his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
as the shadow that he himself casts.

If a nation is centered in the Tao,
if it nourishes its own people
and doesn't meddle in the affairs of others,
it will be a light to all nations in the world.


This really fits in well with the song. Well not done.
