This is a fan favorite and probably the funkiest song I’ve recorded yet. It’s a simple cautionary tale of how celebrity, glamour, ambition and just-plain inauthenticity can twist a human soul. I hit similar thematic territory in The Lady Vanishes, but I’ll talk about that later.
I played this song for a group of Nashville music professionals 4 or 5 years ago as part of a songwriting contest. Not only did they not like it, one of them commented that she would have preferred it if there had been an actual point to the song, instead of just stringing together words that sounded cool. I maintain that this says much more about Nashville than it says about me.
