Listening to the album Ohio for the first time...loving it.

Anyone know what the meaning of the initials "BPD" for the opening song is? B could be Bergquist and D Detweiler, but no idea what P would stand for.

This is all well documented...

Back in the day... I posted this to the Actwin list...

actually, Karin has gone into great lengths about
it.  it truly means Border's Panini Dijon.  It was
a limited time release at their cafe, and apparently
she really loved the yummy sandwiches.  when they
discontinued them, things got a little "heated" (to
say the least) between the band and several of the
cafe staff.  karin even asked for the recipe, but
Border's non-compete clause with their employees
wouldn't allow them to release the recipe... hence
this line:

    "I'd make it alright
    But I wouldn't get it right
    I'm leavin' it alone"

the *real* kicker was how they were driving her to
a slow suicide "just one bite at a time."  she's over
it now... that's why the band keeps pimping "filet
mignon" in all of their interviews this album.  if
things hadn't gone south with Border's, OtR would
have been pimping the BPD Meal Deal during all of
their interviews.

if you don't believe me, well, there are still marks
on the walls by the espresso machine at the Tri-County
Border's.

...

no, the real answer to your questions are: yes and yes.

rude,
Dan

I crack myself up... even twenty four monfs later...

i always screw this up, but i think it was "borderline personality disorder" (or is it "bi-polar disorder"? it's one or the other). anyway, i heard someone say that karin (or linford one) said that the person that they wrote the song about *might* have been in the audience on saturday night at canal street (it was on the setlist and we couldn't figure out if they didn't play it because they were there, or because the weren't).

True, true. Yet, the last band that I got in a serious "suicide letter" writing campaign for was Milli Vanilli... not Over the Rhine. I am not "BPDan."
