One of the all-time great guitar songs. Lyrics are pretty thin...just some more SY deconstruction of Hollywood icons.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels EVOL is ruined on CD somewhat by tacking on "Bubblegum" at the end of it. The vinyl is the best, with a locked groove that will play forever on the last few seconds until you pick the needle up. The time listed on the record label for the track is the symbol for infinity!
As others have noted, it was SST who first tacked on "Bubblegum" to the CD version, not DGC. Give David Geffen a break, he sure did cut Sonic Youth a lot of slack during their tenure on his label. Only two albums that sold worth a damn (Dirty and Experimental Jet Set), but they were treated like royalty at his label.
