I used to play this tape on the way to work, and I used to go down Clarence because just as the song "West of the Fields" started playing I would drive past a place named "Western Steel" so then I would start singing "WESTERN STEEL! WESTERN STEEL!"

The pop-up bubble is innaccurate-- "I'm gay lol" only appears in the lyrics to the original Hibtone single, and had been changed to "garble garble percep" by the time that the album was recorded.

This song can forgive anything, even Stipe wearing his grandfather's slacks.
