Great song, and i think there's a label called this. What the hell does it mean? Is it a football thing?

there's a Canadian band called 54-40 too. they got a big push from Reprise in 1989, to no avail. kinda had an REM, Guadalcanal Diary vibe that i was really into at the time.

Aw c'mon, that's an exaggeration - we just hate the fact that Rush isn't in the Hall Of Fame yet!

The Canadian 54-40 also struck gold when Hootie & the Blowfish played one of their songs on Friends.
