A few days ago, fellow writer and friend of the page Bob Merckel tweeted this:
He’s right of course. Most of the music super-producer Jack Antonoff creates for his Bleachers project feels almost like a revival. Or catharsis. In this case, he’s working through grief, relationship issues, and the chaos of these times.
To Bob’s point; for what could be such touchy subjects, this sure is a fun song. In fact, there’s a greater-than-zero chance I’ll get caught at a light singing this in my car.
So be it.

What do you think about this record? When/where’d you first hear it? I’d love to hear about it!
Thanks for being here,

I'm unfamiliar with Bleachers (heard of them but never listened) and first impression is that it sounds kinda '80s. I think that's a good thing.
Kevin!!! Thanks for the shout out. What a surprise to walk up to this.
