What I love is how didactic and certain so many of the commenters are about the meaning of the song. I think its a great song, and I love the lyrics. What so many call cynical, I just consider intelligent. My guess its that it's about Dorothy White. The weekend in the college didn't turn out like you planned could be a reference to the drug bust at Bard in (I think) 1969 where she, Becker, Fagan, and some 50 Bard students were busted by G. Gordon Liddy & the local sheriff. White was in the sweep, but was not bailed out by the college as all the others were, since she was visiting and not a student. Basically, a reheash of "my old school" is how I hear it. "You've been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen..." is just perfection. The only thing I hate about that line is that someone else said it. Ooh , I knew girls who needed to hear that. |
