In preparation for this blog, I was trying to figure out who I went to Homecoming with my Junior & Senior years of High School, at good ol' Gateway Sr. High. It's absolutely amazing to me, that I can't remember my dates, but I can remember vividly what music I was listening to at the time. It could just mean I was a self centered a-hole, but since this is a music blog, we'll talk about that instead.
On one of those occasions I partnered up with my great friend Bud. Bud, had asked out the Lovely Laura, and I asked my good buddy Megan. I ranged from friend, teammate, and sometime tormentor to Megan, but in this case she was my date to the dance. Of course, Laura and Megan were also good friends, and were chatting it up in the back. Bud and I realized we had realistically ZERO chance for anything else to happen that night (and my fuzzy memory tells me we were all going as friends anyway) so we did what we would do, without two beautiful young ladies in the back seat, we listened to music loud and repeatedly. Sometimes it was the latest Beck, Red Hot Chill Peppers, or Ween. In this case we rotated back and forth with Onyx 'Slam' and 'No Rain' from Blind Melon. No Rain eventually went on repeat much to the irritation of our dates. Afterward, I went on to annoy Megan for the next two years. Later on when I was in college, Kev &I got smarter, skipping the date thing altogether as I would take him as my stag-date because we knew it was guaranteed for a great time. He didn't put out either but he was always good to snuggle with
I would normally ramble on at this point about the band or the album. I love the album, I always have. There's not much to say about the band. Shannon Hoon is dead, Heroine is bad!.
Enjoy the video, and for s&g's listen to the song that the Bee Girl inspired Pearl Jam to create!
