I can’t believe he wrote a song called “I Wish I Was A Girl” in 1999 and everyone sorta forgot it happened

2014’s album Somewhere Under Wonderland opens with “Palisades Park,” a long…suite, for lack of a better word, where the narrator tells you about his friend (crush? lover?) Andy/Andi, who is referred to at different points as he and she.

I generally try to avoid speculating about celebrities like this because it's so gauche but every time someone talks about Kurt Cobain I think that there's another 90s songwriter who deserves consideration too

I CERTAINLY did NOT- I still remember my teenage eggy ass's VIVID disappointment at his explanation of the song (re: cheating) bc it didn't align w/my intuition that EVERY "guy" wished they were a girl Never too late to admit there was more going on tho, Adam!
