I’m so glad I got to see these guys in concert before they broke up. They played First Ave in Minneapolis with Train and Fleming & John. Jesse Ventura was our governor at the time, and Ben kept saying “Body slam!” and slamming his arm across the piano keys. It was so funny. Great memories.

these songs are the soundtrack to my very first heartbreak. I haven't listened to them in 20 years because of it. they are amazing and timeless but the pain of that grief is freshened by them as if I was 23 only weeks ago not decades..

One of my absolute favorite songs by this group. "The shaking voice that tells him 'go' still thinks he might, he knows he won't." That line kills me every time. Suffering from lack of ambition and a seemingly oppressive society, that line always hits home.

'she who must be oberyed' and I saw him live recently- just him and a piano- it was amazing, and the audience supplied harmonies- sometimes with a subtle cue from the stage, and a couple of times with a brief master class/rehearsal right before the song. The boss said there must've been a bunch of conservatory grads in the audience, bc the backing vocal were in time and in tune!
