The Story Behind The Song - CRAZY-HORSE - 25-06-2011
request for our "beatle-man, Gryphon:
most of the "white album" has always intrigued me as to the tracks 'true meanings'....not the Manson interpretations, so how about doing a whole thread on the meanings of the WA tracks from start to finish...if you cant find the time maybe you can explain the following ones for me and whoever else may be interested, otherwise the three below will be fine for now, thanks.
alternatively, how about a thread called "deciphering the White Album" as you have the knowledge for it mate!
1.Helter Skelter
2.Happiness Is A Warm Gun
3.Cry Baby,Cry.....probably my favourite WA track.

Paul Simon's ' Mother and Child Reunion' -
The song is about the death of his family's dog, while the title has its origin in a chicken-and-egg dish called "Mother and Child Reunion" that Simon saw on a chinese restaurant's menu. James Benninghof writes that Simon predicts the title event, the "mother and child reunion," while the second verse describes the effect of what happened on "the strange and mournful day," but without making clear what it was.

Good story, Crazy ! It takes some of the mystique out of the title though when you find out it's only chicken and eggs !!!! lol

The acoustic demo of "Born In The USA" will rip your lungs out it is so stark and damning. I always viewd it as an anthem to affirm I was correct in standing against the status quo, supporting diversity, understanding, and cooperation over the ron raygun era constant shouts of USA, USA, USA! It was comforting to someone who understood from a very early age that the USA practiced genocide against her Native Peoples, was the only nation to wage nuclear war, and is willing to do just about anything to feed the machine! Things have only gotten worse.
On a lighter note, I once heard that The Beatles' "Got To Get You Into My Life" was Paul's love song to smoking pot! Light 'em up!

Really great thread. There are tons of songs that bring a memory to me. Mostly with sports or different stuff friends and I used to do.
