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?
