It has all the signs of a gag that got out of hand&#8212; three guys from Minneapolis bantering about soft-rock namedrops who eventually found themselves surrounded by enough smart, likeminded musicians that it somehow wound up destined to sound at least somewhat heartfelt. It&#8217;s a joke told in reverse, with a potentially cheesy setup that often comes with a surprisingly poignant payoff. Go into this expecting irony, and it might turn your stomach. Take it sincerely, and it&#8217;ll hit you about a foot higher.</p> </blockquote> <p>I guess I&#8217;m on the sincere side.</p></blockquote> <p></p>
