Joey Lauren Adams in “Dazed & Confused,” dressed in knee high athletic socks, very short cut-off jean shorts, and a midriff baring white jersey with SENIORS across the front in large block letters speaks to younger girls assembled at her feet in a parking lot: (kindly) “I did it when I was a freshman, and you’ll do it when you’re seniors. But you’re doing great.” (Then, tauntingly) “Now fry like bacon, you little freshman piggies! Fry!”

1999 was definitely a weird year for music, and feels like it was the year of a lot of groups’ third best albums, but you may underrate it. Don’t forget these perfect releases:
The cover of Wilco’s “Summerteeth”: a black and white photo of a full moon with lips as somebody’s head. The cover of The Roots’ “Things Fall Apart”: a black and white photo of a black teenage girl in a light colored dress and another black teen in dark slim trousers and blousy white top running towards the camera and away from a crowd of advancing white cops in dark short-sleeved uniforms and white riot helmets, with grates covering the businesses bordering the sidewalk. The cover of Built to Spill’s “Keep it like a Secret”: a collage with a pale blue background and a girl with yellow pigtails facing 3/4 away, with a red sleeveless top and tiny insect-like wings sprouting from her back. The cover of the White Stripes’ “The White Stripes”: a red background with three frames of a filmstrip, each of which depicts a slightly different photo of a young man with a mop of black hair, a white t-shirt, and red trousers; a young woman with long black hair and bangs, wearing a very short sleeveless dress or romper; and an oversized peppermint candy; all in front of a wall of red siding.

Jimmy Rabbitte in Neil Jordan’s The Commitments encourages members of his Dublin soul band: “The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once and say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud.”
