The Decemberists really were meant for the stage
In 2003 The Decemberists' frontman Colin Meloy declared, via the tenth track of "Her Majesty," that he was meant for the stage. That song, while good, always struck me as slightly pompous, but after last night's Pabst performance, it's difficult to deny that not only Meloy, but also all of The Decemberists, were in fact meant for the stage, making the bold claim not a delusion of grandeur, but rather a simple fact.
