The Trashmen had lot of people singing along with these lyrics to their 1963 hit. Steve Wahrer's drum set from the group's early years is displayed. Soul Asylum Back when Soul Asylum bass player Karl Mueller played in the group's forerunner band, Loud Fast Rules, his mother, Mary, kept notes when the neighbors complained about the loud music coming from either the family garage in the summer or the basement in the winter. A pollution specialist from the City of Minneapolis, acting on neighbor's complaints, sent the Muellers a letter advising the young musicians about laws outlining local decibel levels. The first bass that Mueller owned is included in the exhibit, as well as the letter from the city and Mary's hand-written notes.
