Thanks Kenny!

In a few ways this song started out as an inside joke to myself with allusions to the era and epoch. I was there when it happened, and actually met and R.E.M. and the guy who produced their first three albums, Mitch Easter. There were a bunch of us in bands in Winston-Salem, NC at time, which was arguably (due to Easter) the hub of jangle rock.

So, many things in this song were done on purpose to imitate that sound from my "musical childhood."

Thanks for noticing!
