"God, what a mess, on the ladder of success,
take one step and miss the whole first rung"

b.o.y - Replacements - 1985

"climbing up the ladder,
breaking my shin, on the very first rung"

"Gun" - Uncle Tupelo - 1990

2 GREAT songs!!!

UT might just be as under rated & under appreciated as the mats!

Sorry, I just picked up the UT re -masters!#nosmileys

gravy,

I don't know what to say about ladders ... nothing rungs a bell.
But there's no doubt Tweedy at that time at least was a ladder day Westerberg, and the song you mention is the proof. I wouldn't discount the idea of "Gun" being a mats tribute almost. I love the way the intro and outro are the same ... makes a great infinite loop track.
