You Come and Go Like a Pop Song
You Come and Go Like a Pop Song is an album by The Bicycle Thief, released in 1999 and re-released with a different track listing in 2001. Songs on the album were predominantly written by frontman Bob Forrest (singer for LA band Thelonious Monster), though Josh Klinghoffer (later to play in Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dot Hacker) played a major role, contributing drums, guitars, keyboards, and songwriting. Forrest is briefly mentioned in Anthony Kiedis's autobiography "Scar Tissue". Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante appears on "Cereal Song", playing  a lead guitar solo. Additional musicians, songwriters, and producers for the album include Josh Blum, Kevin Fitzgerald, and Marc Hunter. The album's title may have come from a lyric in Ani DiFranco's song "Gratitude": "But I don't come and go like a pop song/that you can play incessantly and then forget when it's gone."
