“Cattle and the Creeping Things”

“This is one of my favorite Hold Steady songs. Yes, it's got a simple, choppy riff to it, but simple classic rock-esque riffs is part of the Hold Steady's charm. This song has always stood out for me because Craig Finn's lyrics always make me stop what I'm doing. "Silly rabbit, tripping is for teenagers...and hard drugs are for bartenders." Awesomely true. The lines about Original Sin are even better.”
