J: "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver," Primus

From the album Sailing the Seas of Cheese

Primus:   Web site   MySpace

DJ comments: I knew this dude way back when who always claimed to be the biggest Primus fan. Anyway, he saw U2 back in 1992 and Primus was opening (sounds weird, I know). So a bunch of Primus fans were there with a huge sheet with "Primus Sucks" spray-painted in huge letters. It's a bit of an inside joke, as the band used "Primus Sucks" almost as a marketing slogan. Anyway, this dude marches right up to them and unwinds a big ol' middle finger for them; according to witnesses, he went through a motion similar to a baseball pitcher's windup to deliver the gesture. The Primus fans were bewildered, and that dude was forever known as the Primus poseur on our floor. (Great story, huh?!) — cwc
