One way you know the fans are devoted
Overheard at last night’s Mountain Goats show at the Bottom of the Hill.
Peter Hughes: You know, we’ve been playing at the Bottom of the Hill for so long that I remember a show where my now ex-wife’s best friend was buying us shots of liquor.
fan, from the back: yeah, it was Old Grand Dad
Peter: yeah, it was.
and later in the show
fan, diferent from the first: T SHIRT SONG!
John Darnielle: There is no such song!
fan: T SHIRT SONG!
JD: It was an improvisation and therefore not a real song!
