he messes up some on "silver rocket", which admittedly is not thurston at
his enunciative peak..."total trash" as well. what makes the lyrical errors
stick out is that he uses them to further whatever theory he has for that
song. he hears "grease the crack" as "increase the crack", and then
decides the song is a meditation (partially) on drug-ravaged '80s NYC.
per the site songbase, the "confirmed" intro words to "eric's trip" are
"achoo...brancafest." stearns decides it is in fact "i hate the past."
and proceeds to hammer THAT interpretation into the ground.
honestly, i feel even if he had done proper lyric research (like, shit, ask
the lyricists) his writing style is just such it couldn't have salvaged the
book--to me.
