In the video clip below, Escovedo explains the "meaning" of this song, and he also explains why he dropped it--his most popular song--from his touring setlist for three years. What Escovedo does not explain is how great this song--with the guitar lick half-nicked from the Beatles' "Revolution" and a quarter-nicked from Chuck Berry and a quarter-nicked from Eddie Cochrane, with the rhythm appropriating that of the Faces, and with Escovedo's syncopated vocals charmingly almost tripping over themselves in a breathless rush to get from the first half of the verses to the second--is; he just plays it. So should you. You'll like it better like that.
