[edit] Trivia/Info

  • Features the phoned-in guitar mastery of Eugene Chadbourne.
  • "For the guitar solo... we put in a special long distance call to Greensboro, NC where Eugene Chadbourne had just put his kids to bed. To avoid disturbing them, he gently played his acoustic guitar into Dubway's (Dubway Studios, where they were doing additional recording and mixing) answering machine, without musical accompaniment or guide." - John & John
  • The "Bill" mentioned in the title is Bill Krauss.
  • The "absolutely" in the title was inspired by Bob Dylan, who would occasionally add irrelevant adverbs to his song titles, as in "Absolutely Sweet Marie."
