Hey, remember when Soul Asylum was popular?

Neither do I.

But I do remember about 15 years ago Grave Dancers Union came out, containing their first big hit, Black Gold, along with its ridiculous lyrics. Bill and I used to get hung up on the line “nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd”. We wondered whether the same applied to clowns and always changed the words to “nothing attracts a clown like a clown”.

And then there’s that ridiculous line about “I don’t care about no wheelchair”. What’s THAT all about?
