From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron von Bullshit Rides Again is a
live bootleg album by indie rock band Modest Mouse, the first live CD unofficially, and
later officially released by the group. The live performance was
recorded by Modest Mouse, but was not officially released by the
band. Instead, only a small number of individuals could obtain a
copy at the time by purchasing the album exclusively at Park Avenue
CDs in Orlando. Later that year, the album was made available on
the Internet. It was
released on April 13, 2004, one week after the studio album Good News for People
Who Love Bad News was in stores. Currently, this disc is
out-of-print. The live performance was recorded at The Social in Orlando,
Florida on February 14, 2004 and February 15, 2004.

"Free
Bird"
After the band played "Paper Thin Walls", they were heckled and
told to play "Free
Bird". They then listed several reasons why they wouldn't play
the song.

I know I've said this
before; the odds of us actually playing Free Bird are...there ARE
no odds. It is not going to happen. I'll start with the first
reason: we have NO idea how to play Free Bird. The second reason
is: in the lovebug's natural habitat, hearing that would just
fucking kill him, wouldn't it? You wouldn't want that, right? He's
adorable. He is cute. Thirdly: Even if some, like, pick your deity,
whoever, came down from the heavens or the hills or wherever your
deity lives, and just blessed us with this vast knowledge of Free
Bird and things, and we could play it backwards, sing backwards, we
could do all that crazy shit, we still just wouldn't do it. If this
were the Make-a-Wish
Foundation and you were gonna die in 20 minutes, just long
enough to play Free Bird, we still wouldn't play it. And here's the
end reason, the end reason is that life is just too fuckin' short
to play or hear Free Bird. |

It's possible that when Brock mentions the 'love bug' he is
referring to Herbie, the anthropomorphic Volkswagen
Beetle of Disney cinema fame (The Love Bug). The iconic little car is
displayed at Disney's All-Star Movies
Resort, which is located in Orlando, Florida. This would
explain the 'natural habitat' reference, although it is unclear how
hearing 'Free Bird' might kill Herbie.
