Story behind the song

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In an interview with David Letterman in 1983 where he performs this song live, he explained a part of the story behind the song:

"This is a song that kept me from killing myself in the Howard Johnson's in Marin county. I was deathly depressed, I was in a Howard Johnson's under Mount Tamalpais in Marin County and living there, playing in San Anselmo. It was awful, and I wrote this song and the rest is history." Might by interesting to add to the article.
