Their whole first album is magic. And this is the most magic of the tracks. From interviews I get the impression that the band itself reveres this track, like a sort of mystical gift that was bestowed on them.
I so wish they’d reband for a tour. I still recall when they first garnered attention as that new band from Athens in the 80’s. Such collectively talented musicians and a phenomenal group…
It’s about politics. A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends. It’s all about politics, and that’s when the guy that wrote the song left the band.
