@@markpetersen8135 Grow WHAT? Smashing Pumpkins, "1979" hit this attitude pretty well, also. Neil Young never grew up either, "Keep on rocking in the free world"!
Yeah -- me too. On the way to a night shift in 1992, I heard a 30 minute national radio promo for the album broadcasting out of NYC, and fell in love. Finally, (at the time) someone was making real American rock and roll again! I sat in my car listening ...and was late to my shift!
Hard to believe this masterpiece is going to be 30 years old soon!!! The entire album is a musical work of art with its raw energy! As a person who had a “To hell with everything and everybody” attitude, this album just really resonated with me. Not only Teen Angst (or in my situation, early 20s angst), but such powerhouse tunes like Someday, I See the Light, Mr Wrong, and (Don’t Fuck Me up with) Peace and Love had so much raw energy and emotion to them that sometimes I felt David Lowery knew exactly how I felt at times! And when my blood was pumping from the energy, Cracker brings you down to earth and calms you with the slow paced Dr Bernice. Just brilliant!!! Nearly thirty years later, I’m a far cry from that angry early 20s person. But I still love to blast this CD a couple times a year and enjoy Lowery’s energy and emotion. This album is not just one of the best 90s albums, but one of the best ever.
This was one of the first albums I bought after I really started into to rock as a guy of about 14 or 15. Haha, this was always one of my favorites to just chill out to, and it still holds up today!
There was just as much then as there is now. "Alternative" music was just a marketing scheme. I mean Macy's was selling ugly cardigans and flannel shirts(marketed as grunge-wear) for christsakes & MTV had their Alternative Nation show. It was very much allowed to exist because it generated A LOT of $$$, and us Gen Xers gobbled it up. That's not to say that there wasn't any good music, but there was a lot of tripe thrown in with the good stuff.
I was born in 68 so I was a kid in the 70s, a teen in the 80s and in my 20s in the 90s. I love the 90s but everything wasn't cool in the 90s....Achy Breaky Heart, The Macarena, Ace of Base, Chumbawamba, wannabe baby deadheads, the return of ugly 70s clothing, JNCO jeans with 50" leg openings, Saggy jeans, jorts, Mullets, bowl cuts, the Caesar haircuts...which was only made worse when wearing Turtlenecks. Every decade has really cool shit and really awful fad driven popular shit.
And the '70s. Saw Little Feat with Lowell George back then. I saw these guys in Madison, Wisconsin around '90ish as Camper Van Beethoven. We always went to concerts tripping our brains out.
My favorite song of the 90's. Love the line about Frank Sinatra a CLASSIC. When I used to hear this song in my car on the highway I would hit the gas peddle a little harder.
This is my favorite music vid of all time. Shot here in the South, and the action is spot on. As an actor and screenwriter myself, you guys nailed this version. The bikes, the trains and the aeroplanes made the difference.
In 1992, it seems like Cracker could already smell what the Teen Spirit was cooking. Both singles were released in the same year (and nominated for the same Grammy). Pretty prophetic considering alternative was just about to bust wide open.
43. Born in 1980 as a tail-end Gen X (no way I'm a Millennial), and I still believe in truth, justice,.and the American way. That's what the world needs now. Rock on!
104.7 has had one heck of a playlist recently 🤘🤘. I could see this song being in the credits for a light hearted movie for some reason...it was also very fitting while doing 90mph on I485 just to keep up with traffic 😅
what you fail to realize, is that these guys were out of a box with a sound that was desired by someone else even back then. you reminisce for your youth when things seemed simpler, because you were simpler -- were not so experienced in life, though you thought you knew everything already. if this circus goes on another 20 years, there will be a bunch of 40 year olds yearning for the simple times and raw talent and honesty of justin bieber.
Johnny Hickman is one of the greats. Tone for days, hooky melodies, riffs up the wazoo. His entire work with Cracker is fire and he's still doing it, thanks be to god!
Saw Cracker in ATL when this gem was maybe 1 year old. He savagedly mocked the "idiot frat boys" in the crowd and was generally insulting to the whole place. It was a pretty hilarious take on band/fan banter. The best show of the night. Music Midtown Festival
The best years of my life were spent in the grunge era, when it was cool to do your own thing as long as it was in the same way that everyone else was doing it.
The first band I ever exposed to my then Japanese girlfriend, later wife, later ex-wife, was Cracker at Lee's Palace in downtown Toronto. Full circle predictable?
That location was probably used also for some Sparklehorse video ("Someday I WIll Treat You Good", "Hammering the Cramps"). The dog and the motorcycle are the same.
These guys and School of Fish Way more credit due. Three Strange Days and this this tune are my favorite rock out tunes. Oh and Santa Monica! We could live beside the ocean!
If you were born in 61, then you're a year older than me. I love this song too. What I love about UA-cam is that you can find music that they don't play on the radio. I found another song by the Arctic Monkeys that I love also...called No Romance. I plan to keep rock'n till I'm dead...around 120 or so...LOL!!!
Believe it or not, this song is still played just in a very niche way. A talk radio show called Armstrong and Getty has been using it as one of their standard bumper themes for at least 12 years...that I know about. The melody alone is pretty catchy so I had to look it up, and so I'm here.
@@philhelm1318 "This is War," by Steven P. Richards. I play a soldier/father who is killed in action, and how it affects the family I leave behind. It's up here on UA-cam.
Ironically the guy singing, David Lowery, was one of my UGA music business professors, and passed away after an acute case of hole-in-the-head-itis.......He will be missed.....
I love this video! It is so fun to watch, and the end is just totally awesome. Someone please tell me where this was shot. Looks like Virginia or NC, but definitely Southern Appalachia.
It’s on Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) farm It’s his dog and he’s tooling around on the quad They covered one of Mark’s songs on their Kerosene Hat album R.I.P Mark
The guy singing, David Lowery, is one of my UGA music business professors, haha I have his final today at 3:30
Haha!! I hope you passed =)))
Incredible guy

1992 I was 23 and when I heard this song I was an instant fan!!! Now, 52 yo and still sounds like day one!!!
54.....same same!!!
I turned 18 that year
I was about 22 when I heard this and I was hooked. Unfortunately, I had to wait and hope the DJ would tell me who it was.

Teen Angst is such a great tune, and the lyrics are fabulous! Love that they poke fun at the music industry, which DESERVES being poked at!
90s had some great lyrics. A lot of humor and weirdness. And that's what the world needs now.

Puppies, dirt bikes, trains, & Howard Stern playing the drums. This video has it all!!
What the world needs now is to blast this song from the rooftops SUPER LOUD😃
this song really takes me back to the 90s when everything was cool
I was born in 68 so I was a kid in the 70s, a teen in the 80s and in my 20s in the 90s. I love the 90s but everything wasn't cool in the 90s....Achy Breaky Heart, The Macarena, Ace of Base, Chumbawamba, wannabe baby deadheads, the return of ugly 70s clothing, JNCO jeans with 50" leg openings, Saggy jeans, jorts, Mullets, bowl cuts, the Caesar haircuts...which was only made worse when wearing Turtlenecks. Every decade has really cool shit and really awful fad driven popular shit.
The 90s, sigh. I wish I could go back; there was great rock and roll, the Soviet Union had just dissolved and Putin was still a flunky of the KGB.
And the '70s. Saw Little Feat with Lowell George back then. I saw these guys in Madison, Wisconsin around '90ish as Camper Van Beethoven. We always went to concerts tripping our brains out.
I was born in 1949. I celebrated my 70th birthday (3 times, belatedly) tripping on psilocybe cyanescens & LSD, LMFAO!!!
Heck yes. Everything made sense then. It was magical and surly. It sure wasn't all over the internet. After all, the 'net was barely a "thing" then.
29 years later, thats what we still dont need. Great song.
This song = Pure energy 😮🔥
Damn, Howard Stern is playing the shit out of those drums.
BABABOOEY!!!
Moser Gray The guy singing looks an awful lot like Matthew Modine.
Benjamin Lucas and Michael Rapaport
"The guy singing looks an awful lot like Matthew Modine."
Why does he talk about a bunch of shit. He couldn't handle rejection? You kept on and keeps on talking shit.Who asked you in the first place?
Thank you 91X for this. You made my teen years awesomely cool.

Just saw these guys (with the bonus of Camper Van Beethoven opening) in Richmond, VA last week...they still make me happy to listen to
what the world needs now is more tunes like this.....
im so old. i still love this song
man i looked for this song for years and i finally found it
There is no better representation of the 90s then this😂
lord help aint it
Miss it every day
Saw these guys at an impromptu in Indy around 2001 at the ratheskeller *effing amazing. Thanks for the story!!!

The late adopters certainly were starting to get it in 1992 anyway.
Hello Gen X listeners. Age 53, but I close my eyes and I am driving a shitbox in NJ 1992... looking for something... anything... This brings me back.
43. Born in 1980 as a tail-end Gen X (no way I'm a Millennial), and I still believe in truth, justice,.and the American way. That's what the world needs now. Rock on!
I've had this song running through my head all week! Can't say I remember ever seeing this video, but I LOVE IT!
love it... driving and a great downhill song in your ears as you drop over an edge.
Most underrated 90's band
That's tough. But i like your spirit Sir Forbes
Naw - CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN forevs!
Makes me laugh and tap my toes. Genius in my book
I want to re-live the 90's.
I want to stay there
Someone should have taken them bowling.
like the skinheads ....good song too camper!

This is sick. What an awesome song and video
90s rock was amazing.
Such a good song!!
Hey! A Yamaha IT 250! Classic song. Classic bike.
You answered my question from above. Thank you. I had a PE 175. I just love dirt bikes and this song. That is all
The bass player moved on to play with John Hiatt in 1994. I met him while filming a music video at my house.
Classic song
La la la la la la la la la la - words of wisdom
Why have I never heard this song? I really like it.
Better late than never!
Shit man! When we say " I wanna go back to the 90s" is because we mean it for real, 90s were simple and amazing times.
Saw these guys on Tuesday night (6/19/18) - they sound absolutely fantastic! Totally rocked this song! See 'em if you get the chance!
Im going to see them tonight with my roommate! 01/07/19!
Im 38 , this is my first time hearing this song love it
I see Lowery occasionally bobbing around Asheville, NC.
Love the dirt bike noises included.
The older I get the more I like it.
Yup!!
The best years of my life were spent in the grunge era, when it was cool to do your own thing as long as it was in the same way that everyone else was doing it.
Amen!!!!
yeah I hear ya. Cracker ain't grunge though. I'm sure with what they are wearing in this vid ,is them mocking the grunge clothing style.
🙃
Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven were 'college radio' bands, not 'grunge'.

That location was probably used also for some Sparklehorse video ("Someday I WIll Treat You Good", "Hammering the Cramps"). The dog and the motorcycle are the same.
Cool!
Yep!
powerful song.
awesome
One of the best videos ever made. David is the second most unappreciated songwriter in the last 50 years
Paul Westerberg being #1
looks like they did it on a $100 budget, 50 bucks of it went to gas for the motorcycle and dog food for the whippets
Rocking this in 2023 like lots of other people I'm sure. :)
Cool song.
These guys and School of Fish
Way more credit due. Three Strange Days and this this tune are my favorite rock out tunes. Oh and Santa Monica! We could live beside the ocean!
This song made it to number one, higher than “Low”.
Rockin a 2 stroke .....two thumbs up!!!
Loved these guys i hope they are still around playing
PineyCreekGhost I beleieve they're on tour starting this month. I know they're playing the TLA in Philly in January
