The CC Club in Minneapolis to me is most famously the bar from
Here Comes a Regular; here's an
oral history of the bar. Amazing.
Peter Jesperson: A lot of times we'd close up Oar Folk at 10 o'clock
and we'd all walk across the street for a drink. Even at the time people
joked about it, but that corner was like the Haight-Ashbury of
Minneapolis. The record store became kind of the nucleus of the scene
and musicians, and a lot of people actually moved into the neighborhood
to be close to the record store and the CC. It was really the center of
the burgeoning Minneapolis rock scene.
Tommy Stinson: I wouldn't know [if the song's about the CC], but it
wouldn't be surprising. We spent countless hours and time hanging out
there. When I hear the song, of course, sure, I think of the
bar.
