It seems to me as though this song is about starting a stretch of time (namely the `00 decade) out with something positive after so many other time periods that weren't. I think it might give some insight as to the name of the band--the Hold Steady--as well; a 'positive jam' represents the band, whose message, as outlined by the last part of the song, is to 'hold steady.'
