I thought I remember reading an interview (elsewhere) in which Justin Ringle said he had never heard of the Marx brothers movie until after forming the band…?
Yea I believe that’s correct… before I knew it was a Marx Bros movie I had only heard “horse feathers” used as a term by this old nun at my high school instead of saying “bull shit.”
