Search - Vinnie and the Stardusters :: Duluth ep

"Duluth" the song that convinced lawmakers to pass "Vinnie?s Law" to extend bar close to 2 a.m. in Minnesota. Over the border drinking was an epidemic, so the Stardüsters wrote a song about our beloved drunk Duluthians who desperately searched for more booze each night after 1 a.m. in Superior, Wisconsin. After 2 a.m., these poor inebriated souls struggle into their cars to drive home to Minnesota and tragically (but also somewhat comically) drive off the bridge and drown in the greatest lake in the world. SUPPORT JOBS, SUPPORT DRINKING! The farmer grows the hops and barley; the brewer makes (and consumes massive quantities of) the beer; the barkeep serves (and consumes massive quantities of) the liquor; the barfly cheers the band; the drunkard attends the alcohol and drug rehabilitation center. Everybody dies alone and afraid.SPUR THE ECONOMY! FIGHT TERRORISM! In these hard economic times, unemployed workers are desperate for a place to turn and need the local pub now more than ever. By spending their unemployment checks at the corner watering hole, not only are displaced workers undergoing counseling by bending the barkeep's ear, but they are fighting terrorism by spurring the economy with each drink they buy. These are modern heroes who deserve our respect. Let us unite for tax cuts for drinkers who spend their rebate checks at the bar, not the mall!
