> [@RealityChuck](#): > > Glad to see they included “Fishin’ Blues.” Great song. Yepper. That’s a five-star ditty. The only addition I can come up with is _Mr. Bass_ by the Descendents: _Mr. Bass lies waiting in his kelpy room Waiting, til comes doom He comes and then he goes He sees Orca and then he knows I can see Mr. Bass, he’s on my wall I can taste Mr. Bass, he’s on my wall I can smell Mr. Bass tomorrow_ Not a great song, but a 1980s punk song about fishing. ---

Are the Descendents from Southern California? It seems like they’re talking about Calico Bass rather than the Largemouth Bass that’s spread across the nation.
