Hey, Matt Meyer! This one’s for you!
One of the deep cuts from “#1 Record,” the 1972 debut album by Big Star that’s regarded as one of the founding documents of power pop. Songwriters Alex Chilton and Chris Bell, emulating Lennon/McCartney, are co-credited on all but one of the LP’s tracks because they each tinkered with the other’s songs, but the lead singer – Bell in this case – usually indicates who wrote the tune.
If Matt Meyer can name a scholarship after himself, we can CERTAINLY put together a mix-tape about prevarication and dedicate it to Matt.
Allow me to come up with the second entry:

And you thought I was only into folk music!
These guys are definitely the Ace of Spades! Lemmy rules!
p.s.: Just in case you thought that Rock and Bluegrass were incompatible…

OK, we DEFINITELY have enough for a mix-tape now.
Seriously, though, Meyer’s prevarications are not just gonna dissipate from the minds of the legislators. I don’t know what he can do to win back their trust, but he has to do something.
You want trust?
