kind of weird that 93 til Infinity came out 20 years ago. That song had such a profound impact on my life. Also forgot how wonderful the video is, with all the outdoor nature shots of NorCal. Here's a pretty good "oral history" by Spin.

    In '93 I learned that it was acceptable to talk to a girl who was dating a midget, but only if she has friends.

    But it's '93 or should I say '94 for my style is MUCH MORE!
