“RIP to Billy Sverkerson, a behind-the-scenes fixture of the Twin Cities music scene who was, most recently, the beloved backstage staffer at the legendary First Avenue club & the former manager of the 400 Bar, of whom Dan Wilson of Semisonic wrote this song about, including his famous line, "you don't have to go home but you can't stay here" from when he rouse the crowd to get out when the bar would close for the evening.”
