Cover art for Playing Possum for a Peek lyrics by Owen

The line "local pharmacist and his wife," is a reference to The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I was recently reading the book and when I came to this phrase and I knew it sounded conspicuously familiar. The Unbearable Lightness of Being is Mike Kinsella's favorite book as well so it certainly is no coincidence. It's a great book, go read it!
