Dinosaur Jr. - “Start Choppin”
Will I never outgrow Dinosaur Jr? Someone, I forgot who, once told me this great story about meeting two stoners out east on a fishing dock. One of them – the big hairy one, if you want to know - claimed to be a longtime Dinosaur Jr roadie, which seems improbable. And on his blousy white t-shirt, he had handwritten J Mascis’s name – spelled completely wrong.
They remain the only exception to my “Hating Guitar Solo” rule. Because really, who gets your irrationality better than these guys?
