Yeah, I have been meaning to do the song for awhile now. The lead singer has an interesting story. He was collecting social security for a disabling bout of schizophrenia when the song broke, giving him stardom. When he came back from being on tour, promoting the single. He found his section 8 government housing torn to ribbons. His fans had stolen everything.. I love how he went crazy for BoB Dylan in a way. I think the song was a delusion that he sang about, in an intimate way. Lots of musicians go through a crazy-for-dylan-phase. Thank for listening to me screech a song out!
In theory, I would assume, yes. Though the lead singer, when I have seen interviews with him is happy to have had the experience, and does not mind being a one hit wonder kinda group. I recall that he mentioned that he like his hair, his dreads.
One of my all time favourite tunes 🙂

OMG! That’s crazy… Stardom only ever seems appealing in theory, IMO.
