Everything you touch turns to shite, you're like king Midas's idiot brother.

This the story of a loser. He can't make it as a singer, so he coach surfs with friends and family.
The bad thing is that he manages to anger all those that try to help with his personality. He even gets one pregnant. How bad is his luck? He eschews royalties on a song because he needs the money for an abortion. He really didn't need the money as the one he paid for two years ago never happened and the doctor didn't know where to send the money. The song he gave up the royalties becomes a hit. Yes, his luck is that bad.
It is always enjoyable to have John Goodman in a film. Is he in every Coen brothers movie?
The best part of the film is, of course, the soundtrack, which includes such songs as "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me", "Dink's Song", "Please Please Mr. Kennedy", "The Death of Queen Jane", "Green, Green Rocky Road", "Cocaine", and "Shoals of Herring".
