Barenaked Ladies - Brian Wilson (Live at Farm Aid 1999)

[@djninjaturtle]

Breaks my heart to see Ed and Steve together and happy. Band isn't the same without him.

[@jr2904]

I was 10 when this performance took place and I remember hearing about the one guys drug problem and being sad that they weren't together anymore. I wish they could get together again. I was introduced to this song by my ex wife so it's fitting I guess

[@dspf68]

Canadian R&R HOF inducuction. Cried like a baby seeing the guys together again.

[@pastxmas]

And to think that all Steven had to do to maintain that was not be a pervert. Oh well.

[@unknownkingdom]

They weren't happy

[@dustinbell401]

God I wish I could have seen these guys live in their prime. 2003 born didn’t get into them till this year but as a Canadian child I knew all their hits already from the radio.

[@macleoddan]

As an 80's kid - There was something about going into grade 9 just as these guys wrote "Grade 9".

Because they only ever had 2 good songs.

[@davelieske6797]

Dave Lieske 1 second ago I have had that happen to me also. Elvis is another one for me. When alive, I was not a great fan, but liked him. After he died, gained an appreciation of how great of an artist he was. And his voice. Also, in the past, there were a lot of groups vying for our attention. The last half of the 20th century was the golden age of great pop music. While there are exceptions, today's music is made artificially in that it is not made with instruments. and seems pretty much the same. That also allows us to a second chance to discover something we had missed. Probably the more likely, I am getting older!!!

[@royferguson3909]

cos you are a ' follower ' and not a' leader'

The name always threw me off, but doubt they would get canceled. They seem fairly progressive with their views, hence the two men kissing part.
