Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIII: Superchunk Offers Flashback To Youthful Angst, Plus The ‘Fins Get A Perfect Obama Reception


The 10th album for ‘Chunk
Riffs full of emotion and funk
Even at this late stage
Superchunk doesn’t age
Make me feel like a college-age punk

College football’s nearly here
Know what to expect from most teams near
More cheating from Chapel Hill
Duke will celebrate a three-win thrill
But State’s an unknown this year

The numbers are dwindling, man
No leadership means no plan
Just saw a tumbleweed roll by
Wrapped in double-talk and a lie
Loyalty means you’ll get burned again

The rankings, they fly by
You say, “I never heard of this guy”
Can tell you the Browns’ backup guard
Fantasy football draft prep is hard
Just hope my depth chart doesn’t make me cry

Long-awaited honor for the ’72 ‘Fins
With the White House, they’re on the ins
A 40-year wait
But it wasn’t too late
Recognizing perfection through history’s lens
