No way people, the lyric is “Bacon and Seagrams” and it is the saddest, most beautifulest, sad sack line in a rock n roll song…well…..pretty much ever.

The album version is kind of muffled, I can totally hear it being both “fingernails” and “bacon”, but if you listen to the Fat Roadie bootleg (which I’m assuming most of you have), it’s blatantly obvious that it’s “fingernails and cigarettes.” “Bacon”‘s 10x more amazing though.

Have any of you heard any news about the Rhino and Ryko reissues lately? I used to work with a guy who had recently written the liner notes for the reissue of “Tim,” but that was two years ago. He said there had already been plenty of delays because of each member of the Replacements wanting to make sure he got properly paid this time around, but apparently the band still owed money to Sire/Reprise from the late ’80s and early ’90s, so there was a lot of red tape to get through. I haven’t heard anything about the box set(s) so far this year. It looks like Rhino might not be releasing the Lemonheads’ “It’s a Shame About Ray” reissue before the end of 2007 either.

You know the world is in a sad place when a man like PZ can cave so easily.

I’m in the fingernails camp. Have been since 1984. But all this talk about bacon has muddled my ears. Occasionally I hear bacon. Sometimes when I’m not even listening to anything. Has my sub-conscious been influenced by lunatic lobbyists? Could be.

Maybe if Rhino gets around to releasing a remastered Let It Be, and we get the crime lab to analyze the phrase, I can feel confident I have made the right choice.

But then again, like the staged moon landings, nothing may satisfy the conspiracy/bacon zealots. Even confirmation from the man himself will be called ‘misleading’.

Well, Stephen Hawking seems to feel it has some merit. And Mule is just pissed cuz me and Blasty are making a killing on our bacon-flavored cigarettes.

Mule is certainly wise tonight. I can’t believe anyone would fall for the bacon hoax.

Oh bullshit. You and Blasty are just in cahoots and won’t let this ridiculous argument die.
