Generation Xers

gratefulrunner,

I will get by,
I will get by,
I will get by,
I will survive!

This anti-80s anthem gave permission to be the underachievers we are, speaking for myself of course. Sure there are also themes of perserverance, doggedness and defiance, but my preffered take is Hunter setting the bar low, that it’s enough to just get by, that it’s enough to survive.

@shlenny @gratefulrunner certainly true but if there's anything Hunter wanted us to do with his songs it was to make em our own and not worry about the author's intent

shlenny,

@mrcompletely @gratefulrunner yeah, if there is one thing I took away, rightly or wrongly, was that you could be a deadhead and aspire to the highest quality of whatever. Alpine 89 it hit me, and I think "Heads" gets at this theme. Touch is sort of piece that is complimentary in affect to Day Job and Might As Well. Last night, with all that was on Billy's mind preshow, Touch was perfect.
