Possibly 4th Street: Black Lips Sing About STDs
Possibly 4th Street is a regular SOTC feature in which writer Rob Trucks invites musicians he likes to play anywhere, somewhere, in public. Last week, he brought you a songwriter who brought us to a dog run. This week, we bring you a couple of "fucked-up, Atlanta-bred, corn-fed Pucks" singing about a woman who gave them STDs.

We're near the end of our interview when Jared asks if he can take one of his answers back. The reason: "Because my dad might read this."
