At least someone gets it. The Mad Libs are missing a Random Northeast Locale Reference, given RI got love on "Same Kooks".

These guys are uncool, with no flash or glamour.

Yr. verses don't scan (and amazingly, often, Finn's do), but that's oaky. I'm still laughing my ass off anyway at the Mississippi River locations.

These kids in Des Moines wonder who's going to save them from the 80's/ Strung out, and stumbling/Waiting for a street-wise preacher man/Somewhere near Biloxi.

Thanks, Vagrant-sized recording budget!) by citing their "really clever and literate lyrics" have never listened to the Hold Steady. They just assume they're clever because the band members are dorky-looking. There is nothing redeeming about this band, except that one guy's waxed moustache.
