Some comments on a few songs.
"Nixon Landslide," 21 December 1998, 4:33.
The somber mood of this song is derived from Chuck Colson's autobiography BORN AGAIN. Colson visited Nixon on the night of his November 1972 landslide re-election, and was struck by the lack of jubilation exhibited by Nixon.
"Football You Bet," 20 October 1999, 4:28.
The title came from a comment, oft repeated by a guy at high school. Until today, I never had any idea where the phrase originated, but according to http://www.jumptheshark.com/, it came from a show called "The San Pedro Beach Bums," which once featured a guest star named Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not that my high school friend referred to Schwarzenegger a lot, but his cover band DID do justice to various Cars and Cheap Trick songs. Perhaps it's appropriate to mention that my song titles often don't have ANYTHING to do with the songs themselves.
"Road Array," 8 February 2000, 4:34.
Part of the trilogy "Rudy Left"/"Surround"/"Road Array," this song is the only song that I know of that is based upon the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Well, actually, the Talking Heads song "The Big Country" also tangentially refers to said Ordinance.
"Taco Taco Taco," release date and track time unavailable.
This is Doctor Orange, not Ontario Emperor. It's no longer available at mp3.com, but it's a true classic.
