Homie - American Girls
Darling, I’m afraid to close my eyes when I’m going to bed
I’m afraid you’ll crack the phone down over my head
Why are all American girls so rough?
Damn a girl can’t ever hurt you enough
Homie is a band that sprang up post-pinkerton, while Rivers was still in Boston. The notables on this recording include all four original members of weezer, the rhythm section of Soul Coughing, as well as the incomparable Greg Brown on lead guitar.
It’s been confirmed that there is an entire album’s worth of Homie material recorded (with different musicians), but the only song that has ever been officially released is this one, which was buried on the soundtrack for one of the most awful movies ever committed to film: Meet The Deedles.
This was actually a point in Rivers’ life where he was still writing and performing songs with genuine emotional content, many of which can be heard via a few bootlegs of the solo shows that he had performed in Boston at the time (contact me if you want those). One can only imagine how fantastic the rest of the Homie material turned out.
