New Video: Big Dipper, “Robert Pollard”

By Chelsea Spear

There’s no one way to age gracefully while simultaneously rocking out. Just ask Big Dipper.

The perennially underrated purveyors of jangly pop returned to the limelight with Big Dipper Crashes on the Platinum Planet, an album of richly melodic and wryly funny pop songs. How do they balance their lives as rock stars with maintaining desk jobs, parental duties, and other attendant responsibilities of middle age?

In the video for “Robert Pollard,” Bill, Gary, Jeff, and Tom show you how they find their happy medium.
