Goddamn. I love this song! Every BJM song is orgasmic. So glad I discovered the best kept secret in rock n' roll. DIG! was interesting, but Ondi definitely fucked Anton over with the way she edited it.
My favorite scene of the DVD is not Anton's drunk fights or the the band's drugbusts on the road (Very Jerry Springeresque) but it is from the extra footage. BJM is playing on stage and a fan runs up onstage and begins dancing to the music, with the band. Two burly bouncers come out and shove the man away towards the door. Joel and Matt drop their instruments and wrestle the fan from the violent arms of the bouncers.. and invites him to come back and dance onstage with the band. After the song, Matt says that their music is not about the artist being put on a stage above their fans... and invites the whole crowd to come up and groove. IM me at DGZ103 if you like BJM nearly as much as I do.
