God, I’ve never loved a band like I love the Wildhearts.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”

God, I wish I would’ve practiced guitar more.  He’s 40 and a rock god(to me at least) and I’m 40 and a claims adjuster!  We’re both ugly though so I guess we have that in common!

From Wikipedia:

Arguably the fans’ favourite Wildhearts song (derived from Hüsker Dü’s song “59 Times the Pain”), is about the uplifting effect music has on a fan and is an homage to Ginger’s influences, namechecking The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Starz, Big Black, the Queen album Sheer Heart Attack, Cheap Trick, The Clash album London Calling, Jason & the Scorchers, Stiff Little Fingers, Blue Öyster Cult, Kiss, Heart, The Damned, Twisted Sister and Kurt Cobain. The song was re-recorded in 1996 with the line about Kurt Cobain replaced with a reference to Richey James Edwards. The relevance of the number “29” has caused a great deal of speculation- the most likely explanations being that Ginger was 29 when he wrote it and that when the Wildhearts songs are listed in order of their release and track listing, the song is indeed the 29th Wildhearts song.

The song has been covered by German punk band Gigantor on their 2001 album Back to the Rockets.
