We were beginning to feel the country’s shift to the right at the threshold of the Reagan-Bush era. We had a growing understanding that the recession of post-industrial towns like ours might not be temporary and we were coming of age in an atmosphere of nostalgia and decay.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e--Merchant, liner notes to \u003cem\u003eCampfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure \u0026amp; Unknown Recordings of 10,000 Maniacs\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.
