This was the last song

This was the last song written before (and even for) the NAS sessions with Dave Spivey. He came into the practice space to take notes on our set and we decided to try an impromptu song (like Bob and I did in the Rides on Trains days). The main riff was the result and I think I came up with the rest of the parts from home later that night. That's Bob on backing vocals during the chorus and Bill used a mini amp on the bridge.

Also, I will send anyone $10 who can name the three artists/albums that inspired the name of the song (as well as many of the lyrics...hint, hint). Bill, you can’t play.

I was told by quite a few

I was told by quite a few people that this was their favorite H&V song on NAS.  By the end, the riff had changed when we played it live.
