“The Rolling Squirrels, Gathers No Moss.”
This squirrelism has quite the convoluted history. See if you can keep up on this one. Back in the day, before rock-n-roll was cool, there was a band made up of five musically ambitious squirrels. And, yes, squirrels play music. I’m sure you’ve heard one singing in a tree at some point. And what wonderful voices they are blessed with. Anyway, this group, The Rolling Squirrels had many great hits. The most famous of these songs was “Gathers No Moss,” an amazing ballad that depicts a seasonless world after the loss of a lover’s affection. During the height of this song’s success everywhere people were talking about The Rolling Squirrels’ Gathers No Moss. Unfortunately, the band broke up over a sassy chipmunk whom is credited with inspiring the number one hit song. Apparently, she cheated on the lead singer with the guitarist causing a rift between the two that couldn’t be repaired. Many years have passed and most have forgotten The Rolling Squirrels, and sadly their tribute band has received the fame and the cliché that was truly their’s.
