That’s what Marie Lynn asked when she heard Titus Andronicus awesome “Theme From Cheers”.. . No it aint but I can dig the mistake. For one thing, Patrick aint taken the lean on every verse nd for another how many people are paying for their rum with drinking songs?
If “Waking Up Drunk” is the best drinking song since the Pogues “Streams Of Whiskey”, “Theme From Cheers” is the best since “Waking Up Drunk”.
“Cheers” is about the joys of destroying your life with booze “and a real shit show”. Gosh I wonder what Haggard thinks, I wonder what Larry gatlin thinks when all the shit that died with Cash lives on with a buncha punks from Mahawah, NJ? “i’m gonna put the devil inside of me to sleep if it takes all night, let’s get fucked up…”
Er, word…
