Who Gave 311’s “Down” the Green Light?

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released earlier this month in 1996…

this song might have been called “Down”…

but the band was on its way up

“Down” sounds like it was created in a California

but these dudes were not born at the beach.

They came out of Omaha, Nebraska…

(Music Cut #3)

And the song was actually a thank-you

to the old-school fans who were there from the beginning.

Quick sidenote:

before it became a No. 1 hit…

the riff apparently got approved by their weed dealer.

So thank you…whoever you are.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Play a track from your record collection
It’s your mix, congratulations.” – 311
