Damm cool old group! I'm listening to the Jim Rome (sports) Show on radio and he's interviewing them, Tommy Stintson, Chris, Paul Westerberg (oops Paul didn't show... ). They're coming out with a "best of" album that includes 2 NEW songs!!! First time in 17 years!!!. He just played Message to the Boys (world premier) that rocked my day! Very cool!

"Bastards Of Young"
God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, there'll ain't no beer tonight
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no word to name us
The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Well at least someone remembers--come on people you know this band was damm good--NOFX, serious stuff, screw the establishment, we'll do our own thing...etc...etc...

You know Cail not only have you encouraged me to delete this thread, but it brings back a saying my mother (don't forget your Mom on Sunday!) used all the time: "If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all."
Seriously, I liked one or two of their songs, but there's no denying Westerberg is a talent, Actually the band was more concerned with partying themselves to death than keeping much together--I was impressed with the new song tho...

Of course, I've had "Dyslexic Heart" stuck in my head all day, so take that as you will.
