It's About World War II

So I'm hanging out with Shafer but this time he has arguments.

"It's a concept album."

"It's about World War II."

"It's about the Nazis."

"It's about Anne Frank."

"Their singer went crazy."

The first four statements reeled me in. Who isn't seduced by history based rock records?

The fifth sealed the deal. I have always been a sucker for artists suffering breakdowns. Real or imagined. Mental anguish or drugs are acceptable catalysts.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. From Shafer. As for any of the above statements being true? I don't know. I took his word for it. For Dave.
