This is just my opinion so you can save your rebuttals for something else thank you. "He said what about new orleans she said I don't think you understand what that means all those hangers on the girls lifting up their shirts when the cameras come on" Hangers on means parasite or an unwanted follower. Perhaps Hold Steady is trying to say that about the girls at Mardi Gras. "Yeah we didn't go to dallas yeah 'cause jackie onassis said that it ain't safe for catholics yet think about what they pulled on kennedy And then think about his security. Perhaps this person values his/her own security enough not to go to Dallas and New Orleans because the "hangers on" if around them could comprimise their safety. The "Saint Barbara" line is explained on youtube just search "The Story of Saint Barbara" Nuff said. The line "I guess there's fields of speed where there's fields of grain" by defenition field means space that has been modified. I personaly think they are mentioning the meth manufacturing and or the availabilty of meth in the rural areas in the Midwest. The line "I can feel the whole scene starting to corrode when we're fooling around on the frontage roads" a frontage road is the road that runs along a highway, and sometimes is what's used to get on the highway. Perhaps they are talking about teenagers doing drugs etc. and not preparing themselves for adulthood. The "frontage road" meaning adolesence and "The Highway" Adulthood. As for the last line "She said Charlemagne got caught up in some complicated things she wiped at her nose and she winked" wiping at your nose in conjunction with a wink is referring to coke use or another drug that can be snorted.
