Yup, I discovered them with this album, "I hate my generation" remind me of "My Generation" from the Who so I was curious, I was hooked... I sometimes play this song with Dixie Babylon myself on the guitar when I feel blue :).
I was transfixed, myself. I'd just finished my freshman year of college. My girlfriend at the time tried throwing the CD out of my truck after getting sick of it. That relationship didn't last, obviously.
Thank you Cracker you were the first band I saw live with my brother when I moved to Charleston, SC in 1997. We saw you a few times there then I moved on. Saw you in Nola at Tips in 2006 or 2007. I now live in NorCal and hope to see you at HopMunk next time you are there.
David Lowery is a fantastic lyricist and Johnny Hickman has fantastic musicality, Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven often make poetry that makes sense on a purely emotional level. I still think that these are some of the few people that actually made meaningful musical art in the 90s, an era dominated by edgelord "heavy," repetitive, and populist tunes that could sell a million records but had no substance. Also, that one D who thumbs-downed this, these are YT comments, you will get a constant stream of criticism. Welcome to the internet.
i upvoted everyone. a great band . and the fansa are great too. people who can be smart and funny without getting all angry. shits its life lets dance and drink and yell. but love and laugh and live damnit
Seems to me that the Big Dipper - a roller coaster - is a metaphor for a relationship. And aren’t they all??? Some college student, or other similarly aged person, bummed out after a relationship gone bad. The song is drenched in California vibes, rays, and heartbreak. Just stellar.

So brilliant. The blues with melody and depth. The rollercoaster of life. A perfect metaphor.
One of my favourite all time songs.
this was our wedding song... love it so much
I`ll never forget listening to this song for the first time in summer of 1996 - and still cannot get enough of it
Philipp Tailor I didn't finish it until 2018

This song is immortal.
This song has one has one of the greatest lines . About the writer Kerouac! Dave is a legend love him hope can see him again
Brings me to tears. Every damn time.
I play this song when it's cold and wet outside, just to remind myself of those sleeveless days of June... Oof! So evocative...

Best observed Live, in their natural element.

I agree. Who was the lucky bastard? Jack Kerouac or his brother?

rock n roll? I think that's the reason rock n roll was invented...
Such a fantastic performance

Though I know it's not that pleasant
Dylan would have been proud to write this.
