Jesus Son
by Dennis Johnson
Steve discusses this as 'one of my favorite short story Collections of all Time' while talking about copper theft. He mentions the title comes from a Velvet Underground song about heroin, and describes a specific story from the collection about two men stealing copper wiring from a repossessed house.
