 Nice reading Mike. I think you did a good job with a brilliant record. I've been hearing so many anti Sep Sunday people arguing that they're just a bar band doing what 1,000 bar bands across the country are doing, just with Finn turning things around and out. I think The Hold Steady are better than those 1,000 bar bands because of Finn and because of their conscience embrace of they they are and aren't. Well struck.
