Pop-A-Long-Cassidy:
After years of suffering drummer’s bottom (a work related affliction that plagues drummers akin to tennis elbow), Pop-a-long sensed an urgency to stand. Upon the realization that drummers standing up look kind of silly (with the exception of Mo Tucker and Slim Jim Phantom), a solution was postulated in the form of a $100 guitar bought on his 21st birthday. A visit from Grant McLennan in a dream offered the life changing advice to “Write what you know, but use your heart and not your head” and thus the cycle was complete. Songs of Love, Beer and Football plus songs of the love of beer and football. Nice.
