In "Heavy Petting Zoo" there is a song called 8th August, what does it mean for you this day?

This is pretty funny. I wrote this song about Jerry Garcia dying, cuz I fucking hate the Grateful Dead, but it turns out I had the date wrong. He really dies on August 9th. Whoops. I guess I'm lame. -FAT MIKE

that was taking straight from the nofx website go on q&a about page 10 11 or 12 and look for the question.... so i guess that answers the question...
