ON THIS DAY BACK IN 1998, SEATTLE ALT ROCKERS THAT WERE THE ANTITHESIS OF THE GRUNGE SEATTLE SOUND CALLED IT QUITS…IN FACT THEY WERE FAIRLY LIGHT-HEARTED AND SILLY BUT STILL ROCKED…I’M TALKING ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…THEY DECIDED THEY WEREN’T FEELING THE TOURING VIBE AND CALLED IT QUITS ON THIS DATE AFTER ROCKING OUT A CHARITY CONCERT IN SEATTLE AT THE PARAMOUNT THEATER, ALTHOUGH THEY EVENTUALLY GOT BACK TOGETHER & THEN BROKE UP FOR A FINAL TIME IN 2016. THE PRESIDENT’S WERE A GREAT PALATE CLEANSER IN THE GRUNGY 90’S WITH THE SINGLES “KITTY”, “LUMP” AND A SONG THAT WAS INSPIRED BY A CRUSH LEAD SINGER CHRIS BALLEW HAD ON A GIRL NAMED MARY LOU LORD WHO HAD A PEACH TREE IN HER FRONT YARD WHERE HE WOULD SIT AND WAIT FOR HER TO COME HOME SO HE COULD TELL HER HE LIKED HER…NO JOKE…TRUE STORY! AND CRAZY SIDENOTE…MARY LOU LORD DATED KURT COBAIN JUST BEFORE NIRVANA BLEW UP AND HE MET COURTNEY…AND THAT SONG OF COURSE IS THE SILLY ROCK SINGLE “PEACHES”….LOOK OUT…IT’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 1057 THE X!
