BOP (harvey) is one of the Lansing area’s most popular bands ever. After a decade and a half apart, they’re playing together again and will appear at the Common Ground Music Festival on Tuesday. Current State’s Scott Pohl went to a local restaurant to talk with guitarist Dan Metheny and singer Wordsmith, who explains where the band’s name came from.
