The Sun Lions, “Whatever’s On Your Mind”
One day they’ll be showing this video in Massachusetts history classes, educating the youth about Route 1 Miniature Golf and Batting Cages’ beloved orange t-rex. Before the old fella is removed for good, Massachusetts garage rock band the Sun Lions paid fitting tribute in a supportive show of animal magnetism. “The video was filmed totally home-movie style on a shoestring budget at the Route 1 Mini-Golf course,” says the Sun Lions’ guitarist/vocalist Pete Schluter. “We heard it was being shut down after this season so some rich dude could build more condos, which totally sucks. That’s when we decided to get in one last bit of late-summer American fun before this Mecca of kitsch closes forever. Consider the video a tribute to a simpler time.” Lions and dinosaurs, roaming together in a show of solidarity.
