Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, 1994
Written by Stephen Malkmus
This placid drone-folk song's lyrics were alleged to mock contemporary alternative rock superstars the Smashing Pumpkins and the Stone Temple Pilots; they refer to the former as "nature kids" with "no function" and while ceding that the Pilots "look foxy to me," conclude "I will agree they deserve absolutely nothing / Nothing more than me." As a result, Billy Corgan refused to play Lollapalooza if Pavement was on the bill, and Pavement was kicked off. Wow, what a sensitive fragile little baby.
