The last song on the last Big Star album. Pretty much as bleak and ragged a record as any made. I don't listen to it much, frankly preferring their more jangly melodic first two albums. It's a remarkable document nevertheless. Plenty of gems on here. This was another song re-interred by This Mortal Coil in the eighties which along with R.E.M.'s constant referencing of the band helped me find my way to them. Always interesting how Alex Chilton himself always wrote the band off as undeserving of the attention and adulation they eventually got.
