00:00The name of this group, ladies and gentlemen, is the Shags. Take it away.
00:06If someone tells you they're going to paint a picture and they've never seen a painting,
00:12what is their painting going to look like?
00:15And that's what I thought about the Shags.
00:17There are many things I wonder, there are many things I don't see,
00:23says no, the things I wonder most are the things I never find.
00:29I don't think anyone can be prepared to listen to the Shags.
00:35Our grandmother would read palms.
00:37She told my father he was going to have three girls and they were going to be in a van.
00:41He made sure it happened.
00:44I remember I did not want to do homeschooling. I wanted to go to high school.
00:47Studying during the day while our father worked and then we practiced.
00:51Father didn't know what he was talking about, in my opinion.
00:55Do it again.
00:56What should I do? Tell me, tell me, what should I do?
01:06The Shags are an enema for the mind.
01:09Like Girl Scouts singing ragas on really heavy ass.
01:12If you're told you're the worst band of all time, it's impossible for that not to have some effect on
01:17your psyche.
01:18I'm so happy when you're new, I'm so sad when you're away.
01:23From the first out of tune chord and disconnected drumbeat, I was completely sold.
01:31It was them against the world.
01:33And they said, well, we got each other.
01:36Kurt Cobain and Frank Zappa championed this album.
01:40We realized there was more of a following than we thought.
01:52People who dismiss it out of hand, they're depriving themselves of the riches that reveal themselves in the Shags music.
02:01I hear joy, I hear enthusiasm.
02:03So if they were forced to do this music at gunpoint or something, you would hear that.
02:08Ah!
