Covid Island Discs

Day 323: Longer than you’ve been alive, Old 97’s

Missing year 2014: So this little gem of a song has a great little lyric capturing the reality for many rock bands struggling to make it big and remaining relevant amongst all stiff competition.

I particularly like his reflections on a rockstar’s love relationships in the following lyrics:

Well it must be hard to get partnered with me
Some narcissism, some OCD
Love that comes easy is a fake or a fluke
Love is a marathon sometimes a puke!
