Comment:

Like jokes about plane crashes and collapsing buildings, Material Issue's songs about obsessive boyfriends took on a sickly pallor when Jim Ellison comitted suicide a few years ago. That said, they're still good songs. "Sick Sad World" was the reality TV show that Jane and Daria were hooked on, in "Daria".
