Talk:Over the Rhine (band)

Untitled
Waiting for the goldrush, I'm sure some of the rhinelanders out there will take the chance...

What the Song "B.P.D." is NOT about
On Over the Rhine's Ohio album, the lead-off track "B.P.D." is about a fan whose Borderline Personality Disorder led to writing somewhat disturbing letters to Over the Rhine. The following story is NOT what "B.P.D." is about:

Kim Cart wrote: >Hoping this isn't a repeat topic, but it just hit >me. BPD -- Borderline Personality Disorder. Has >anyone else made this connection? Am I the only >person in the world who hasn't?

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. http://www.actwin.com/OtR/month.200311/msg00438.html "

How is this notable?
With no mainstream commercial success, no hits, not even any singles listed, how is this group notable enough to warrant an entry? The only people who know who these clowns are are people in Greater Cincinnati area. Literally outside of that, nobody knows or cares, and Cincinnati is a tiny flyover market, so that's a double who cares. I see so much crap like this on Wikipedia. Good for them. They'll be remembered as another mediocre, went nowhere group of dreamers from the midwest. Awesome! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.10.232.196 (talk) 18:30, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * They have multiple album articles and that is enough for us to have an article for the band. They're actually quite well known in their field throughout North America. Say hello to Chagrin Falls from Wikipedia. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:41, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
