There has always been another explanation in the back of my mind. When I think of Hey Nineteen some say the protagonist is a middle aged man with a younger woman. Maybe Gaucho is a scene where his wife showes up to a gathering with her younger Latin boy toy, disregarding the agreement they have to keep their indiscretions out of the public eye. It appears that most of the lyrics to the antagonist are masculine so I think this theory is far fetched but what if it's his male assistant showing up to a Hollywood party with this "Gaucho"??? |

So I have read all the comments and a crazy thing popped into my head the other night. What about this scenario? The protagonist and the antagonist are two young bachelor roommates in a California apartment complex (think Melrose Place) the kind that has a swimming pool in the middle where everyone congregates. Filled with all kinds of Hollywood up and comers and some of the established set. One Sunday afternoon while the protagonist is at the pool with the neighbors the antagonist rolls out with his house guest from the previous nights escapades obviously dressed in the sequin ensemble and creates a "Scene"! Where in the conversation is had in private about his "Friend" and "what will they think"? With the protection of his own sexuality at the forefront of his mind. I don't know maybe it's far fetched?? |

| @[RockStarWannaB:6438] I think you are right on point! the only thing I would add is this isn't the first time i.e. multiple young "bad" woman the Babylon Sisters. I don't think its by Accident the Background singers say "Tell me I'm the only one". There heading to Malibu for a weekend not just a cheep hook up, maybe Shutters. the second verse is the morning after that starts great then he's jetted back into reality. | |
