Check the sidebar for a completely different song, also called Omaha...

Loved that Golden Palominos record. Along with Stipe, John Lydon sang vocals on a song and Syd Straw on another and probably some others that I'm forgetting. Good stuff.
Thanks for the comment Dan. This is one of the few autographed albums I have (Fier, Stamey, Straw, and Worrell - no Stipe or Lydon). Saw them in Ann Arbor in the mid-80s but honestly don't remember much about the show.
Didn't Bob Mould sing a track on here too? I remember getting it when it came out, and really liking it, but I must've sold it at some point - probably for rent or beer money.
Man, I wish I had it now.
i felt my heart sink when you said you had an autographed copy of Moby Grape s/t. you didn't,.. but i wish you did, it's one of my all times.
I wish.
