I'm Just Asking For A Friend

Post by John A Arkansawyer »

If someone's life just implodes in every way possible, completely goes to shit in every fucked-up, dysfunctional way, which is worse: To be in a Drive-By Truckers song or a Hold Steady song?

DBT. In Hold Steady songs, they usually have at least a little fun before everything goes to hell. In the DBT universe it's often just hell from the get-go.

Good question: Hold Steady dysfunction seems to be the self-induced result of drugs, youth, and pussy. While DBT dysfunction, on the other hand, seems to come from alcohol, middle age, and pussy. So, yeah.

In case you were wondering, this all worked out just like you'd expect.
