    "comment": "In Seattle, it's showers early, becoming steady rain later on...\n---\nIn a 1995 interview, Steve Marker, the band's guitarist, said, \"It's really just us poking fun of ourselves... We're poking fun at the alternate rock angst, wearing your heart on your sleeve thing and at ourselves for writing such dark songs.\"\n---\nSinger Shirley Manson is from Scotland, where it rains frequently. She thinks of the song as an example of the Scots' self-deprecating humor.",
