Violent Femmes have been celebrating the 40th anniversary of their self-titled debut album for the last year, most recently releasing a 3xLP/1x7-inch deluxe edition back in February. On this episode of The Story Behind the Song, the band's Gordon Gano dives into that record's most iconic song, opener "Blister in the Sun." Is it what we all think it's about, or is it something else entirely? For that matter, is it "a" blister in the sun or "I" blister in the sun?

Grew up in the 80s never once saw a VF video or heard them til early 90s. I find that crazy. MTV showed every video ever but never saw them ONCE . They were my first concert in 1993 and Gordon winked at me as I cheered from the crowd at Metropol in Pittsburgh, PA RIP

I don’t know if you don’t know, but Gordon Gano’s still alive.

Definitely not only interesting to you, Gordon! I always heard it as “I.” Great interview! Thanks Consequence!

have always loved this song and really almost all of their first album. I realize though I've had the words wrong my whole life! Always thought it was "like A blister in the sun" and then was sure it was "let me go WILD, like A blister in the sun". So, live and learn, I suppose! Great song any way you lance it ....er cut it....

I’m interested in the whole album. Certainly all their songs have stories.
