Yeah, I lived behind that line for a small bit of time in my life. It seems to be a weird indictment if you bringing up a Dutch City and an American guitar god in the same song. The culture is desolate from the Red RIver of the North westward. According to an article I've read in USA Today, The northern Great Plains of the 1990's and 2000's is now what the Deep South was from the 1930's to say the 1980's was. Poor as poor can get...and I've seen it driving between Williston, North Dakota and Glasgow, Montana.
I find the meaning to be about the American musical landscape. It's rare that anybody finds a great band and if they are found, they die off as quickly as they appear. The American landscape prefers music that's easily to listen to and therefore, it's easy to consume. Nirvana wasn't like that, Days of the New wasn't like that, Alice In Chains wasn't like that. Modest Mouse shouldn't be like that, I guess for the most part they aren't. Listen to their new album to see what I mean.
Neither are The Hip, at least now. I started with Road Apples and Fully Completely, Road Apples was easily my favorite because it was easier to listen to. I love Up To Here as well. Those two albums are the easiest to consume by the band. They are great because they are easy to consume rock and roll. Fully Completely was tougher for me so I should give it another go. I love Day For Night though. I also have In Violet Light and In Between Evolution and they are the most complex albums by them. I started out of order but I will eventually get on the horse. This is the best band on Earth and I wish they would play in North Dakota. You wouldn't know how many Canadians we get from Winnipeg on a weekly basis. That would be awesome in my mind.
