They also probably scored more runs.Īre you a vehement hater of the Phillies then?ĬF: Nah, I don’t really care. ( Laughs) One of the two things caused them to win the World Series. And the fact that they won four games and the Cardinals won only three. My assistant editor wanted me to tell you that the only reason the Twins won against the Cardinals was because of the dome.ĬF: Ack. He went to the last 23 games or something, including all the playoffs and the World Series.ĬF: I have not. He grew up in the next town over, so he was the big deal.ĬF: I don’t know if you know Brian Dilworth but he does a lot of the shows in Philly. The crazy thing is that when I was growing up, and I’m not that young, Jamie Moyer was just coming up in the league. He was getting ready for the game a half hour before the game started. It’s the only time I think Bobby has taken a real interest in baseball. We were in South Carolina and rented this house and we were out there at the same time. I am proud to present the Spectrum Culture interview with Craig Finn and Tad Kubler.Īs I told you, I’m from Philadelphia, so I had a pretty good year for baseball.ĬF: Oh yeah! Right on! We were actually down in South Carolina and we watched quite a bit of it as a band. We spoke about baseball, drunk fans and Paul Westerberg. None of us drank alcohol and they both had the markings of musicians tired from being on the road. Since the show had been sponsored by Jack Daniels, technicians set up lights and special booths as the band played.įinn and Kubler met with me for 30 minutes in the Lola’s Room bar below the Crystal Ballroom. Though the band reserved their energy during this run-through, it was a good chance to see the inner workings up close. First, I had the opportunity to watch the sound check, which felt like a private, three song performance.

This is the second in a two-part interview series with members of the Hold Steady.Īfter meeting with Franz Nicolay in the hotel, he and I took a shuttle over to the Crystal Ballroom where I would be meeting frontman Craig Finn and guitarist Tad Kubler.
