Gute Wahl! Ron Klaus ist ja eine „reale“ Person, er spielte bei The Embarressment. Aus denen und Volcano Suns ging dann Big Dipper hervor. Und das ist (angeblich) die Story hinter dem Lied:
Not a lot of hidden meaning to this song. I first heard in the late 1980s on the, probably on Boston’s WFNX (that’s FM radio for the young folks out there) and I recall it being referred to as a true story. As the story goes, Ron Klaus was the bass player for The Embarrassment, a Wichita, Kansas band formed in 1979, which also featured Bill Goffrier, who later co-founded Big Dipper in Boston after moving there in the early 1980s. As the legends goes, Ron’s landlord in Lawrence, Kansas, gave him a month to get out because the building was going to be demolished. So he did what many of us only dream of – he had a party with a 1,000 lucky friends and wrecked the place. Some Googling gets you that story. What I have never seen is the other half, whether in fact the landlord lied (as the song says) just to get Ron out of the place. Ooops.
