Notes
Todd played a handful of songs that were new at this point: "Some of these songs I don't know all of the words to yet but if I fuck up the words, it's just a rewrite since I made it up to begin with."Â
After Iron Mike's Main Man's Last Request, Todd tells a pretty lengthy account of the story behind the song.
Variations
On Ballad of the Kingsmen:
"Now he gets a lot of chicks."
On Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues:
"Space Needle, Eddie Vedder, Ichiro Suzuki"
"...shave off these goatees, pack up the van, move down to California. We'll buy a horse. I'm gonna ride him all the way into Arizona -- get out there in the middle of the desert. I don't care how fuckin' hot it is, I'm namin' that thing."
On Alright Guy:
"...that new book with all those pictures of Jeff Tweedy naked..."
"Hey, Old Timer, we're gonna have to ask you to step out of the car."
On Vinyl Records:
"I've got piles and piles and piles of Helen Reddy."
