Title: Huge Wurster Article in the Village Voice.
Post by: One of the Few on March 19, 2011, 08:23:29 AM
I find it hard to believe that not one of you slavish goons could get it together to post this article. You would probably break your own fingers to be the first person to post a link to some tangential podcast or news of a god-awful Adult Swim pilot that will never see the light of the day, but when the prince gets his props there is nary a word.

The Dual Citizenship of Jon Wurster
From Superchunk to WFMU, his forays into both music and comedy inspire us all.

I don't get it.  I'm new to the show... who is "Jon (John?) Wurster?" 

And I thought Superchunk broke up after "Breakfast in America," am I wrong about that?  I like that logical song though.

He's the guy who calls in as the funny characters.

And you're thinking of Supertramp.

Ah, the young.



Seriously, though, what funny characters?  There are some really crazy people who call the show, like Tom's relatives and all these people from a small town in New Jersey, but I don't get it??!? What do you mean with the funny characters I am really trying to figure this show out but i cant.

I don't know, some guy who said his name was buffcoat gave me this account in an Internet cafe.  Apparently he had almost 4,000 posts about the show but I don't know anything about it?! I'm so confused!

No, Superchunk did "Breakfast in America" and "Logical." Supertramp is an indie rock band on the Merge label that recently reunited. Wiki it!

"Breakfast In America" was by Supergrass you dummies.   



P.S. And for the record, "Supertramp" was the last nickname of the dude in "Into the Wild" (written by Sean Penn...or was that "penned by John Ritter?").

The original San Diego Chargers theme song had the line "San Di-e-go Su-per-charg-ers."
