"14th and Stupid" was the nickname for this intersection on The Hill in Boulder, CO circa mid-80's where trustafarian chemical-musical indulgence butted up against the front range of the Rockies. The Samples provided the soundtrack for those crazy days 20 years ago (yikes!).

Song isn't so bad except for the horrible synthesizer circa mid-1980s! Is the singer from the Counting Crows too?

is this song about Atlanta...Little 5 pts?

Is this song about Washington DC? I used to live at 15th and Euclid, in Columbia Heights.

Its one of the stronger songs on the album imo, although they were all pretty solid around this time frame. The title of the song is named after where they used to play/rehearse in Boulder, CO.

Not my favorite on the album - When It's Raining, Summertime, Nothing Last for Long are stronger - but this is still good and always brings a smile.

I've never gotten much into The Samples, but I do enjoy their music. I got few live shows of theirs that are always enjoyable to listen too. Anyone who's interested can download some of thier live stuff at Archive .org

I'm likin' it. I thought it was some unusually fresh Sting song.

I know nothing about this band. Sounds like Sting playing with a Gospel drummer and a Keyboard player with a rig from 1989.

Is it Sting? No, it's even worse...

this is why you don't leave the cat with the bell on his collar in the studio while recording!! had to turn down the music to find out where that noise was coming from...

"It's a small world after all..." Sounds like an inferior version of their much earlier "Did You Ever Look So Nice". I'll give it a 4. I take part of it back. It's on the same album as "DYELSN".

Sounds like a cross between Sting, Dave Matthews, and Counting Crows. . . in the early '90s. Yuk!
